The trouble of gold and death?

    Venezuelan government has given a report of unknown Brazilian gold miners of attacking innocent Yanomami Indians. A little battle has been going on between gold miners and Venezuela's largest group of indigenous group of natives. Out of a community of 80 people, only three survivors were found; the concrete number of deaths have not been fully accounted. Much damage has been dealt to the Yanomami people; from destroyed crops to the burning of their communal home. Brazilian official police have also been trying to thwart the hazardous miners, but to no avail~ the fight between culture, government, and people is ongoing.
