U.S. Coerces Yanomami People of Brazil Out of Their Blood
The tribe accuses Napoleon Chagnon and James Neel, two US scientists who worked with Indians from the 1960's until the mid 1990's, of taking their blood without obtaining proper permission.

"Or are they going to use it to experiment with other men, to make them Yanomami?" One accusation that still reverberates today, is that Chagnon coerced the Yanomami into giving up blood samples by bribing them with gifts, including weapons such as machetes they would later use in conflicts among themselves.
