To shed light on the ethical debates sparked by Patrick Tierney's book Darkness in El Dorado: How Scientists and Journalists Devastated the Amazon , Cornell University will host a three-day public conference April 5-7, 2002 that includes speakers from the Yanomami tribes of Brazil and Venezuela as well as leading anthropologists and cultural-rights activists. Organizers hope the conference will provide an important missing element of this ongoing debate about the ethics of native research -- namely, the Yanomami themselves.
