Ashabono (alsoxapono,shapono, oryano) is ahut used by theYanomami, anindigenous people in extreme southernVenezuela and extreme northernBrazil.^[1]

Used as temporary homes, traditionally constructed mainly ofthatched palm leaves and wood, shabonos are built in clearings in the jungle, using the wood cleared to build apalisade with a thatched roof that has a hole in the middle.

In traditional villages, multiple shabonos, each conical or rectangular in shape, surround a central open space. Each family unit has its own area within a given shabono separated by a wooden post. These would be a home for around 50 people.
