00:00:40.067 --> 00:00:43.157
The struggle of our parents\' generation
00:00:43.157 --> 00:00:47.157
allowed my generation,
of young adults,
00:00:47.157 --> 00:00:49.408
And youth and children that are coming,
00:00:49.408 --> 00:00:52.997
indigenous and non-indigenous people, at that moment
00:00:52.997 --> 00:00:56.068
of the sixth great mass extinction.
00:00:57.757 --> 00:01:04.907
From the absolute climatic environmental imbalance of our planet
00:01:04.907 --> 00:01:08.257
where we\'re all feeling the impact
00:01:08.257 --> 00:01:10.757
of nature\'s response.
00:01:10.757 --> 00:01:14.193
The impact we make
as humans,
00:01:14.193 --> 00:01:17.337
our generation has the great opportunity
00:01:17.357 --> 00:01:20.617
to create alliances and open our eyes
00:01:20.617 --> 00:01:23.997
between us so that we can see each other,
00:01:23.997 --> 00:01:27.657
not just ourselves,
but to see the other human being,
00:01:27.657 --> 00:01:30.287
and also the rest of the world
that is around us.
00:01:38.557 --> 00:01:43.477
I want to invite
everyone who is worried,
00:01:43.477 --> 00:01:45.377
who already noticed
00:01:45.377 --> 00:01:51.477
that we live in a big maloca
in the universe, which is our planet Earth,
00:01:51.477 --> 00:01:54.752
to participate together with the people of the forest
00:01:54.752 --> 00:01:57.504
on a mission to protect the world.
00:02:35.327 --> 00:02:39.197
One thing the chiefs always demand
us in our internal assemblies,
00:02:39.197 --> 00:02:44.257
they say like this: \"If in 88,
in a pre-88 period,
00:02:44.257 --> 00:02:49.618
we without study, with little knowledge
of Portuguese, little technical knowledge,
00:02:49.630 --> 00:02:56.529
we managed to make this achievement, which is
the guarantee 231 and 232 in the Federal Constitution,
00:02:56.595 --> 00:03:00.067
what we can\'t do today
that we have all of you, right?\"
00:03:09.207 --> 00:03:14.487
So they demand a lot from us
this role in social mobilization,
00:03:14.487 --> 00:03:18.057
but also this political action
from the use of the pen,
00:03:18.057 --> 00:03:20.957
from the use of technical knowledge.
00:03:20.957 --> 00:03:25.907
So this is important to us.
for maintenance and re-articulation
00:03:25.907 --> 00:03:27.386
of the indigenous movement.
00:03:35.817 --> 00:03:41.317
If at the time of the 60s, 70s, the
struggle was to build these rights,
00:03:41.317 --> 00:03:45.177
the struggle of our generation,
of my generation today,
00:03:45.177 --> 00:03:49.347
is that these rights are not lost,
not be torn.
00:03:49.347 --> 00:03:53.996
But we still haven\'t managed to get to a true implementation.
00:03:57.727 --> 00:04:00.497
the constituent
00:04:00.497 --> 00:04:08.497
was the result of a mobilization
of the whole Brazilian society, profound.
00:04:08.497 --> 00:04:13.307
When I mention the constituent as
a luminous moment in our history,
00:04:13.307 --> 00:04:18.307
shall we say, republican,
of our recent history,
00:04:18.307 --> 00:04:23.984
what i mean is that we had
emerged from a period of 20 years of dictatorship.
00:04:45.557 --> 00:04:50.137
To write this 1988 constitution,
00:04:50.137 --> 00:04:54.584
the legislative system, the
judicial system and the
00:04:54.594 --> 00:04:56.497
executive power,
00:04:56.497 --> 00:05:02.127
they decided to create a
National Constituent Assembly,
00:05:02.127 --> 00:05:06.735
where the whole society
should be represented.
00:05:11.217 --> 00:05:15.327
And of course we also got some indigenous people,
00:05:15.327 --> 00:05:19.677
I even played this role of being a candidate,
00:05:19.677 --> 00:05:22.125
but the votes did not appear.
00:05:25.170 --> 00:05:29.083
So we had to use
our intelligence, our resistance,
00:05:29.174 --> 00:05:31.917
our fighting spirit,
to see what we were going to do.
00:05:31.917 --> 00:05:38.016
We needed to somehow get in
in the negotiations of indigenous rights.
00:05:43.397 --> 00:05:46.917
And for that we looked for Ulysses Guimarïes,
00:05:46.917 --> 00:05:50.112
who was the deputy president
of that constituent.
00:05:51.837 --> 00:05:57.617
He was very surprised because we weren\'t
Annatto Painted Indians,
00:05:57.617 --> 00:06:03.041
but we were Indians in jackets and ties
who were sitting down to negotiate.
00:06:18.157 --> 00:06:23.061
various communities
who already used a satellite dish
00:06:23.061 --> 00:06:27.566
in the bush, they watched,
and asked each other:
00:06:27.566 --> 00:06:32.237
\"Who is this guy? Who is this Indian?\"
\"No, it\'s not the Indian... it\'s the white one.\"
00:06:32.237 --> 00:06:36.084
\"It\'s not the Indian speaking.\"
Then people who know,
00:06:36.094 --> 00:06:37.409
\"No, it\'s the Indian.\"
00:06:37.409 --> 00:06:42.084
Then we started looking for this relative,
who is Ailton Krenak,
00:06:42.094 --> 00:06:44.458
we started to come together.
00:06:44.458 --> 00:06:50.292
And when we started to come together,
more and more leaders appeared,
00:06:50.337 --> 00:06:54.117
younger, to organize themselves to fight.
00:06:55.537 --> 00:06:58.339
\"This morning Indians
from all parts of the country\"
00:06:58.349 --> 00:07:00.223
\"came to the National Constituent Assembly\"
00:07:00.223 --> 00:07:03.427
\"to deliver a document
with their claims.\"
00:07:03.447 --> 00:07:07.347
\"The visit of the Indians was promoted
by the national campaign coordination\"
00:07:07.367 --> 00:07:09.537
\"Indigenous Peoples in the Constituent Assembly\"
00:07:09.537 --> 00:07:13.557
\"and organized by the Indians
Marcos Terena and Ailton Krenak.\"
00:07:13.557 --> 00:07:18.317
The main points are the recognition,
by the Brazilian nation,
00:07:18.327 --> 00:07:21.487
of historical rights
of indigenous populations.
00:07:21.487 --> 00:07:23.747
As a consequence
of that recognition,
00:07:23.747 --> 00:07:26.437
the demarcation of indigenous territories,
00:07:26.437 --> 00:07:30.247
the usufruct guarantee
of these natural resources
00:07:30.247 --> 00:07:35.417
of the territories for the indigenous people and
compliance by the Brazilian State
00:07:35.457 --> 00:07:38.762
of future projects
of indigenous populations.
00:07:42.117 --> 00:07:45.737
\"Constituents go to the village to hear
the claims of the Indians.\"
00:07:45.737 --> 00:07:48.627
\"It\'s starting to
Constituent Diary.
00:07:50.527 --> 00:07:52.359
\"Members of the Black Subcommittee,\"
00:07:52.359 --> 00:07:55.357
\"Indigenous peoples,
Disabled and Minorities\"
00:07:55.387 --> 00:07:59.907
\"They went to the village of Gorotire, in
reserve of the Kayapùs, in the south of Parç.\"
00:07:59.917 --> 00:08:04.397
\"They went to see how the Indians live
and listen to their claims.\"
00:08:05.187 --> 00:08:09.517
We walk across the country,
we organize to make a new constitution.
00:08:09.517 --> 00:08:15.587
I want to say that the alliance through the Brazilian Association of Anthropology,
00:08:15.607 --> 00:08:17.997
and other existing NGOs, was important.
00:08:17.997 --> 00:08:20.817
I think we have to
retrieve that memory.
00:08:20.817 --> 00:08:23.117
This constitution was made by us.
00:08:28.687 --> 00:08:33.867
The National Coordination of Geologists
was a great ally in the constituent
00:08:33.867 --> 00:08:40.337
And it was very interesting
because on the one hand there was a lobby of mining companies,
00:08:40.337 --> 00:08:43.727
who wanted access to indigenous lands for mining,
00:08:43.727 --> 00:08:48.757
and on the other hand, against them, there was the
National Coordination of Geologists,
00:08:48.757 --> 00:08:52.917
which was the organ of Brazilian geologists
and not the companies,
00:08:52.917 --> 00:08:55.917
who thought it was important to have a mineral reserve,
00:08:55.917 --> 00:09:00.797
and that this mineral reserve could very
well be precisely on indigenous lands.
00:09:08.227 --> 00:09:13.077
\"Representatives of 21 indigenous nations
met with the constituents.\"
00:09:13.077 --> 00:09:16.757
\"At this meeting, the Indians gave
several testimonies and presented\"
00:09:16.757 --> 00:09:19.707
\" the letter from Manaus with claims. \"
00:09:19.707 --> 00:09:22.947
\"They call for a ban on mining
on their lands,\"
00:09:22.947 --> 00:09:27.087
\"But the main issue that
Indians want to see in the new constitution \"
00:09:27.087 --> 00:09:29.037
\"it is the demarcation of the lands.\"
00:09:29.037 --> 00:09:31.128
- Constituent has advanced in many things,
00:09:31.128 --> 00:09:34.087
but there is one big exception,
which is the indigenous issue.
00:09:34.087 --> 00:09:37.697
It is worse in this project than in previous constitutions.
00:09:37.697 --> 00:09:40.617
It goes so far as to say that
Indian ownership is exclusive
00:09:40.617 --> 00:09:45.138
for those nations that have
immemorial and uninterrupted possession.
00:09:51.767 --> 00:09:54.877
I hope not to attack
00:09:54.877 --> 00:09:57.797
with my manifestation
00:09:57.797 --> 00:09:59.427
the protocol of this house.
00:10:04.617 --> 00:10:06.576
but i believe that
00:10:12.717 --> 00:10:14.834
you will not be able to stay
00:10:18.047 --> 00:10:20.187
omitted,
00:10:20.187 --> 00:10:22.507
you will not be able to stay
00:10:22.507 --> 00:10:24.337
alien
00:10:24.337 --> 00:10:26.787
to this new aggression
00:10:26.787 --> 00:10:29.537
driven by economic power,
00:10:29.537 --> 00:10:31.142
by greed,
00:10:35.817 --> 00:10:39.747
by ignorance of what
it means to be an indigenous people.
00:10:39.747 --> 00:10:43.027
And today we are the target of an assault
00:10:43.027 --> 00:10:47.517
which aims to achieve,
in essence, our faith,
00:10:47.517 --> 00:10:52.617
our confidence that
there is still dignity.
00:10:52.617 --> 00:10:56.409
that it is still possible
to build a society
00:10:56.457 --> 00:11:00.397
that knows how to respect
a people who have always lived
00:11:00.397 --> 00:11:03.607
in defiance of all riches.
00:11:03.607 --> 00:11:07.097
A people who live in thatched houses,
00:11:07.097 --> 00:11:09.237
who sleeps on mats on the floor,
00:11:09.237 --> 00:11:11.737
must not be identified in any way,
00:11:11.737 --> 00:11:15.087
as people who are enemies
of the interests of Brazil,
00:11:15.087 --> 00:11:21.557
enemy of the nation\'s interests.
And that puts any development at risk.
00:11:21.557 --> 00:11:26.611
The indigenous people have watered
with blood every hectare.
00:11:26.621 --> 00:11:29.417
The 8 million km2 of Brazil.
00:11:29.417 --> 00:11:31.661
You are witnesses of this.
00:11:33.663 --> 00:11:36.416
Several rights were being threatened,
00:11:36.416 --> 00:11:39.044
with studies of various politicians,
00:11:39.044 --> 00:11:42.589
who have an interest in the land,
are interested in ore,
00:11:42.589 --> 00:11:46.176
interest in exploring other riches, right?
00:11:49.417 --> 00:11:53.637
And Funai was considered
a repressive organ,
00:11:53.637 --> 00:11:58.457
So much so that at that time there were
regional indigenous police stations,
00:11:58.457 --> 00:12:03.977
that is, the chief indigenist of the regional
were called delegates.
00:12:09.737 --> 00:12:13.957
When the president of Funai himself runs
away from this discourse of the acculturated Indian,
00:12:13.957 --> 00:12:18.977
he was actually giving ammunition to
our enemies here inside the congress
00:12:18.977 --> 00:12:22.397
in the debate of the constituent to separate...
00:12:24.381 --> 00:12:26.597
give different treatment,
00:12:26.597 --> 00:12:30.797
for those indigenous peoples who already had
recognition of national symbols
00:12:30.797 --> 00:12:35.016
like the Brazilian flag,
they spoke some Portuguese.
00:12:36.567 --> 00:12:39.567
Their idea is that this
part of our population
00:12:39.567 --> 00:12:42.477
would not even have the right to
demarcation of their territories
00:12:42.487 --> 00:12:44.557
because they were no longer Indians.
00:12:50.687 --> 00:12:54.927
\"And the Indians want the constituent
plenary to change two articles.\"
00:12:54.927 --> 00:12:59.347
\"One of them because it takes away the rights of
Indians in a high stage of acculturation, \"
00:12:59.347 --> 00:13:02.297
\"without specifying what this stage is. \"
00:13:02.297 --> 00:13:04.879
\"The other considers the Indians incapable. \"
00:13:10.217 --> 00:13:16.637
It would be a coercive emancipation to force
the Indian to stop being an Indian.
00:13:16.637 --> 00:13:21.367
What from a cultural point of view is a
absurd. The Indian is born an Indian, he is an Indian.
00:13:21.367 --> 00:13:26.735
He has... He\'s Indian
because he is of indigenous ethnicity.
00:13:32.967 --> 00:13:37.036
The person who left is not acculturated at all,
00:13:37.036 --> 00:13:40.037
because we have to learn Portuguese.
00:13:40.037 --> 00:13:44.461
So who prepared this,
the president of Funai,
00:13:44.461 --> 00:13:47.737
he is trying to exterminate the acculturated Indian,
00:13:47.737 --> 00:13:52.537
in order to reduce the number
of Indians who are in the village.
00:13:52.537 --> 00:13:56.431
Or also reduce the indigenous land.
00:13:59.177 --> 00:14:02.677
The National Security Council,
that still existed,
00:14:02.677 --> 00:14:07.577
they were against creating an Indian chapter.
00:14:07.577 --> 00:14:12.101
The ruralists were not yet
organized as they are now,
00:14:12.111 --> 00:14:14.016
but they were also against.
00:14:14.847 --> 00:14:22.047
And after almost two years, finally,
a chapter on indigenous rights was born,
00:14:22.047 --> 00:14:27.629
but we didn\'t have enough votes
to approve our chapter.
00:14:34.147 --> 00:14:36.721
We see a very big risk
00:14:36.846 --> 00:14:41.387
of whether, at the moment of national decision,
to subdivide the land, do you understand?
00:14:41.387 --> 00:14:44.177
If the interest of the indigenous people is auctioned,
00:14:44.177 --> 00:14:46.867
because the indigenous people
don\'t have the money to lobby,
00:14:46.867 --> 00:14:49.467
because the indigenous people do not
have a representative in the congress,
00:14:49.477 --> 00:14:53.187
because the indigenous people do not have
economic power to exert pressure.
00:14:53.747 --> 00:14:57.897
That\'s when the great warriors came, the great chiefs.
00:14:57.897 --> 00:15:03.607
So we had to wait almost two
hours in the anteroom of Ulysses Guimarïes,
00:15:03.607 --> 00:15:07.457
until everyone was tired, hungry,
00:15:07.457 --> 00:15:10.674
and I then suggested to the
kaiapo warriors
00:15:10.684 --> 00:15:13.591
to sing a song
of war in the anteroom.
00:15:17.617 --> 00:15:25.645
Ulysses Guimarïes\'s office shook,
and he, frightened, decided to receive us.
00:15:27.607 --> 00:15:30.931
There he saw the Indian who
was in his head.
00:15:30.941 --> 00:15:33.587
the headdress indian,
the painted Indian.
00:15:33.587 --> 00:15:37.437
We immediately asked the other indigenous chief
00:15:37.437 --> 00:15:39.977
to put the headdress on his head,
because we knew
00:15:39.977 --> 00:15:43.667
that when we made the mention of putting
the headdress of Ulysses Guimarïes,
00:15:43.667 --> 00:15:49.002
journalists\' cameras would
shoot, as well as televisions.
00:15:50.997 --> 00:15:54.465
When it was approaching,
we started to organize,
00:15:54.465 --> 00:15:57.924
more indigenous people,
various ethnicities from all over Brazil,
00:15:57.967 --> 00:16:00.677
who had the opportunity to arrive.
00:16:00.677 --> 00:16:03.600
When the voting ended,
all parliamentarians
00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:07.103
recognized that we were victorious in the struggle.
00:16:07.103 --> 00:16:13.943
And unlocked all the congressional gates
to climb up there, there in the wide.
00:16:17.337 --> 00:16:24.167
\"The chapter dedicated to the Indians was approved
with 470 votes in favor and 4 against. \"
00:16:24.167 --> 00:16:28.357
\"According to the text, it will be recognized
the social organization of the Indians, \"
00:16:28.357 --> 00:16:32.047
\"their customs, languages,
beliefs and traditions.\"
00:16:32.047 --> 00:16:35.544
\"Permanent possession of traditional land is guaranteed\"
00:16:35.554 --> 00:16:37.367
\"Occupied by Indians. \"
00:16:37.367 --> 00:16:39.802
\"The lands will be demarcated by the Union,\"
00:16:39.802 --> 00:16:43.567
\"which will also protect indigenous assets.\"
00:16:43.567 --> 00:16:47.852
\"The Indians will be able to enter the
justice to guarantee their rights. \"
00:16:49.047 --> 00:16:53.524
\"A traitor to the constitution is a traitor to
homeland, we know the cursed way.\"
00:16:55.627 --> 00:17:00.707
\"We promulgate the statute of man,
of freedom and democracy,\"
00:17:00.707 --> 00:17:03.297
\"We cry out for the imposition of your honor.\"
00:17:03.297 --> 00:17:08.377
\"We hate dictatorship. Hate and disgust.\"
00:17:08.377 --> 00:17:14.937
\"We curse tyranny wherever it disgraces men and nations,\"
00:17:14.937 --> 00:17:17.256
\"mainly in Latin America.\"
00:17:18.947 --> 00:17:23.527
\"- I declare enacted.\"
00:17:23.527 --> 00:17:26.277
\"The Document of Liberty,\"
00:17:26.277 --> 00:17:28.643
\"of dignity,\"
00:17:28.643 --> 00:17:30.687
\"of democracy,\"
00:17:30.687 --> 00:17:33.837
\"of the social justice of Brazil.\"
00:17:33.837 --> 00:17:37.360
\"May God help us, may this be accomplished.\"
00:17:58.407 --> 00:18:01.837
Soon after enacting the Federal Constitution
00:18:01.837 --> 00:18:07.497
Indigenous people felt the need
to organize to fight
00:18:07.497 --> 00:18:09.559
for the fulfillment of that right.
00:18:15.397 --> 00:18:19.797
Thirty years later we have not achieved
the minimum commitment of the State
00:18:19.797 --> 00:18:22.497
to recognize indigenous territories.
00:18:22.497 --> 00:18:25.324
We didn\'t get the minimum commitment from the State
00:18:25.324 --> 00:18:28.537
to assume their crimes of genocide.
00:18:28.537 --> 00:18:33.587
Their responsibility for violence and permanent murder
00:18:33.587 --> 00:18:36.377
that happens against native peoples.
00:18:39.297 --> 00:18:43.317
Now we\'re in another moment,
which is a moment of struggle
00:18:43.317 --> 00:18:46.337
in order not to lose these
constitutional rights,
00:18:46.337 --> 00:18:48.877
because we managed to guarantee,
00:18:48.877 --> 00:18:52.647
then made the fight for compliance
and now we are in the fight
00:18:52.647 --> 00:18:56.105
so that these rights remain written.
00:18:58.417 --> 00:19:02.647
Because there\'s no other way to avoid this
setback if not through struggle.
00:19:11.217 --> 00:19:15.177
It is a period when indigenous
peoples are highly mobilized
00:19:15.177 --> 00:19:19.647
in the face of the various attacks that
the constitution has suffered.
00:19:19.647 --> 00:19:22.590
Our constitution has been restricted.
00:19:26.757 --> 00:19:29.055
We have been following for a long time
00:19:29.055 --> 00:19:34.769
an advance by the Ruralist Bank in withdrawing rights.
00:19:36.207 --> 00:19:40.687
So years of conquered rights that are being taken away, right?
00:19:40.687 --> 00:19:43.569
In the pen, at the base of the pen.
00:19:45.277 --> 00:19:51.077
So this has required a very large capacity for articulation from us, indeed.
00:19:55.717 --> 00:20:01.417
You are having a very serious attack of the
Bolsonaro government to indigenous rights
00:20:01.417 --> 00:20:06.477
to not only not expand, but also to reverse
the demarcation of indigenous lands.
00:20:06.477 --> 00:20:10.887
Every environmental agenda has been
badly beaten and it hits
00:20:10.887 --> 00:20:13.467
particularly indigenous peoples.
00:20:13.467 --> 00:20:18.020
They want to vote on environmental licensing here as well.
00:20:19.477 --> 00:20:24.817
- because we have
a fundamental role to face.
00:20:24.817 --> 00:20:28.807
Face this government.
00:20:28.807 --> 00:20:33.460
To fight against the return of the bloody period
00:20:33.470 --> 00:20:35.567
that killed many of our people.
00:20:35.567 --> 00:20:37.582
That reduced populations.
00:20:40.897 --> 00:20:46.799
It was precisely during this period that more
than 8,000 indigenous people were killed.
00:20:48.467 --> 00:20:53.737
May the photos of our relatives be placed there,
00:20:53.737 --> 00:21:00.317
our indigenous relatives, who were
tortured and killed during the dictatorship period.
00:21:00.317 --> 00:21:04.147
There, for all to see.
For everyone to know.
00:21:04.147 --> 00:21:09.577
For this house here to know
what that period was for us.
00:21:09.577 --> 00:21:11.157
And that we will fight.
00:21:11.157 --> 00:21:12.987
We will fight.
00:21:12.987 --> 00:21:19.807
We won\'t allow any more
drop of indigenous blood in this country.
00:21:20.347 --> 00:21:25.530
Let\'s face it with our
forces, with our weapons.
00:21:25.536 --> 00:21:29.565
And our weapons are our spirituality,
00:21:29.575 --> 00:21:32.970
the strength of our ancestry.
00:21:39.567 --> 00:21:42.277
Let\'s go together, people, let\'s go together.
00:21:42.277 --> 00:21:44.357
The earth asks for help.
00:21:49.597 --> 00:21:53.366
indigenous peoples
are on the front line.
00:21:53.366 --> 00:21:58.927
And for making this fight so fair,
we are in sight.
00:21:58.927 --> 00:22:04.752
In the sights of all those who
want to destroy our territories.
00:22:11.197 --> 00:22:15.067
And they don\'t know that destroying the territories
they are destroying themselves.
00:23:16.327 --> 00:23:18.507
Since the 1500s, this is what we face.
00:23:18.507 --> 00:23:25.217
Withdrawal of rights, attempted murder, racial prejudice, cynicism
00:23:25.217 --> 00:23:30.277
and the Brazilian population feels most of them foreigners
00:23:30.277 --> 00:23:33.730
and treats the Indian as an enemy,
sees us as violators of rights
00:23:33.730 --> 00:23:36.594
and don\'t see this congress
as a violator of law.
00:23:40.047 --> 00:23:44.907
Our death, our genocide, our
blood on earth, no one wants to see.
00:23:44.907 --> 00:23:48.047
The government is thinking that
will run over us. Will not.
00:23:48.047 --> 00:23:51.407
It won\'t because we were born with the certainty that
the only thing we\'re going to do is die.
00:23:51.407 --> 00:23:54.497
They don\'t, they think
that will enrich, enrich, enrich
00:23:54.497 --> 00:23:57.017
then later they discover \"We died\".
00:23:57.017 --> 00:23:59.487
And we don\'t, we\'re sure we\'re going to die.
00:23:59.487 --> 00:24:02.917
So no matter how,
we will face to live well.
00:24:02.917 --> 00:24:04.527
And that we will not stop.
00:24:19.527 --> 00:24:24.934
My father used to say that the fight
of indigenous peoples is for freedom,
00:24:24.934 --> 00:24:28.757
autonomy and respect.
00:24:28.757 --> 00:24:32.191
I believe this idea
00:24:32.191 --> 00:24:36.626
of freedom, autonomy and respect
it is human and belongs to anyone.
00:25:08.191 --> 00:25:11.926
The extreme right politics of Jair Bolsonaro attacks
continuously the indigenous peoples rights.
00:25:12.191 --> 00:25:15.926
The land demarcation were interrupted and Funai is again
occupied by the military, like in the dictatorship of 1964.
00:25:16.191 --> 00:25:20.926
The environmental surveillance bodies suffer with cuts and occupation
of posts and the government deffends the forced \"integration\" of indigenous
00:25:21.191 --> 00:25:23.926
people to the national society. The logging, invasion and mining
risk, once again, the existence of indigenous people in Brazil.
