Hei kä misi

Hei kä misi

In the Ya̧nomamö cosmos, "Hei kä misi" (literally, "this layer") is earth and the third highest of four vertically parallel layers. The Ya̧nomamö believe that "Hei kä misi" was created when a part of "Hedu kä misi" (Heaven) got dislodged and fell. [Chagnon, "Ya̧nomamö", p. 101.]
