The Xavante hunt for food and plant crops. Towards the end of a rainy season, a man cuts down 2 or 3 trees and leaves them to dry. He sets the trees on fire and the ashes add mineral nutrients to the soil. They plant crops that have minimal tending such as corn, beans and pumpkins.

XAVANTE

Click for the Source:

The culture that I was assigned to was Xavante. The "X" is pronounced as the letter "Z", so Xavante is pronounced as Zavan-tayy. I found them to be interesting because they live in Brazil, however are still living in the woods and refuse to adapt to the modern world. My family is from South America, (Guyana), which borders Brazil and Venezuela. I never knew that the Xavante existed and my blog will educate you with some knowledge about them.
