	Pemon
		The Pemon territory covers the coastal area of the Atlantic Ocean in Venezuela, the inland mountain savanna (plains) area, and the Amazon River area.
		A Pemon religious leader lashed a boy's body, made incisions in his skin, and applied what were believed to be magic substances to the wounds.
		The Pemon's traditional housing consists of huts whose walls are made of clay or bark, with roofs made of palm leaves.

	Venezuela: "Stop it, Mr. President" say indigenous Pemon leaders
		The Pemon indigenous people continue to fight against the construction of a high-voltage power line in the south-eastern Gran Sabana region, that will cross the Brazilian border.
		They wonder what is the use of having a new Constitution, indigenous representatives at the National Assembly and even an indigenous individual as Minister for the Environment, if in every case the Pemon will be condemned to disappear.
		The disruption of modern economy activities in the area --under the form of high voltages power lines, mining and luxury tourism-- would mean the destruction of their livelihoods and culture, based in the simplicity of nature and a life in harmony with it.

	OPEN FORUM / Foreign Affairs / When tourism is not so bad
		The Pemons are working with tour operators, trying to entice adventure travelers to explore the jungles and savannahs of this isolated region near the Brazilian border.
		To my eyes, the poor Pemon were pandering to the outsiders, diluting their traditions.
		After a week of experiencing the interaction between Pemon guides and villagers and their North American and European visitors, I find myself agreeing that this type of tourism is far from the traffic jams, gawking and souvenir shops that wrecked old Sausalito.

	Travels in The Lost World -- Dominic Hamilton
		Most Pemon houses, outside of villages, are still made of wood and mud, many are still thatched with palm fronds, none of them have gas and rarely do they have cement floors.
		Although they still eat a lot of Pemon food, mainly spicy soups with manioc wafer-bread, they also made criollo fare, such as dumplín, dumplings, which are very fatty, and probably explain her premature chubbyness.
		She isn't sure anymore what she really wants to be, and that question stares all the Pemon at the moment, and has done for at least the last ten years or so.

		Pemon wants to go with her, although he doubts that he will do very well.

	: Venezuela: The hijacking of a sacred stone (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		According to legend, Kueka was a young Pemon, of the Taure Pam community, who went looking for the fairest girl of the Macuxi community, breaking the rules dictated by Makunaima, jealous god and strict Pemon, who said that the Pemon only could marry other Pemon, and the Macuxi only could marry other Macuxi.

		The Pemon twist stories of natural events which in time become myths explaining a mountain's strange aspect; name tepuis after a story's protagonist; weave magic and reality into a seamless blend of narrative.
		Not more than a decade has passed since the asphalt road running the east of the region was completed, and much of the region lies within Canaima National Park, protecting it from the damage wrought by miners, loggers and government mega-projects elsewhere in the Venezuelan Guayana.
		Although damage to the summits of Roraima and Matawi has increased dramatically with the mushrooming of tourism and may well force their closure, many of the local tour operators, veterans to the Sabana, are in fact, a pretty mystico-spiritual bunch.

	:: Los Pemones :: VENEZUELA, LA GRAN SABANA, SALTO ANGEL, FOTOS Y VIDEOS
		Sin embargo entre los pemones hay diferencias somáticas y dialectales según la ubicación geográfica que ocupan.
		Hay que decir también que los pemones se diseminan a todo lo largo del Parque nacional Canaima, agrupándose en tres grupos bien definidos: Kumaragotos, taurepanes y Arekunas.
		Sin embargo podemos decir que los pemones son un grupo muy dados a religiosidad en su vida diaria, que se enmarca en la creencia en lo sagrado en la actitud y los mitos, pero no hay ídolos, cultos ni oraciones como las conocemos nosotros.

		The Pemon traditionally raise their arms when arriving at the waterfall, paying tribute to spirits and asking for the energy to carry on with their toil.

	Satya: Jan 99: Around Latin America
		Despite threats of imprisonment from authorities, the Pemon and other indigenous peoples continue to protest the $110 million line, which aims to provide hydroelectric power to communities in northern Brazil and eastern Venezuela.

		While 30 percent of Venezuela’s land is protected, in May 1997, under pressure to create jobs and to alleviate its foreign debt, President Rafael Caldera signed Decree 1850, which opened 40 percent of the Holland-sized Reserve to multinational mining and logging companies.
