This weekend, kind of out of nowhere, I went on a canoeing trip on the St Croix River. I canoed 17 miles (which seems like a lot but maybe isn't actually that much), and became really sore and sunburned. It was pretty interesting, and it reminded me of the boat trip, except at the end of this trip the boat I was in wasn't abandoned in the middle

Shit, I heard about The Rutles once on NPR way back when I was a senior. They had a feature about the guy who did the music for it. This is the story http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4206142.

Anyway, the best part of the feature has a fake band intro in which the narrator says: "And looking very relaxed, Adolf Hitler on vibes". It is about a minute into the story.

how does one become initiated into the yanomami people?

You don't because to them you are non-human.

explain

also, make a long and very detailed post about what you learn about these people

Well the word they use to describe themselves, "Yanomami", literally means human, but people who are not ethnically Yanomami, like, say, people from Iowa (by way of the deep south), are non-Yanomami and thus non-human. So there you go.
And the important thing to know about them is that straight men are "vagina eaters" whereas homos are "anus eaters".
