Yanomami Massacre

The Haximu Massacre, also known as the Yanomami Massacre, was an armed conflict in Brazil in 1993. The conflict occurred just outside of Haximu, Brazil, near the Venezuela border, beginning in mid-June or July^[2] of 1993. Approximately 16^[3] Yanomami people were killed by a group of garimpeiros (gold miners who were mining the land illegally). But, inaccurate numbers reported by various newspapers such as The Globe and Mail and The New York Times claimed the Yanomami death count was 73.^[4][5]
