Ken and Napoleon

In my opinion both Napoleon and Ken were both equally bad. Napoleon gave the Yanomami weapons which really wasn't a smart idea in the first place. Ken ruined a young women's life by marrying her and pulling her away from her culture into America. Ken and Napoleon really didn't have a positive change on the Yanomami. They disrupted there culture and also their way of life. poor Yanomami :(

I agree with you that neither of them had a positive influence upon the Yanamamo. They actually disrupted their natural way of life and did the opposite of what an anthropologist should do and interfered with their culture.

I agree that neither anthropologist had any positive effects on the Yanomamo. They disturbed their natural way of life, and only brought bad things among their people. Rather then just studying their culture, both anthropologists got tangled up in it.
