So far from what I’ve heard Jair Bolsonaro, the nationalist president elect of Brazil has threatened to take away territory belonging to 900k indigenous people. He’s also threatened to shut down the country’s indigenous affairs department and has been quoted saying “It’s a shame that the Brazilian cavalry wasn’t as efficient as the Americans, who exterminated their Indians.” as well as “If I become president, there will not be one centimeter more of indigenous land.” If this doesn’t sound mad…

here, here, and here are some articles explaining more.

It’s pretty evident people don’t seem care about South America and especially its indigenous tribes. Please please please keep an open mind and spread some word around. I don’t have a big active following but a little bit can go along way if people bring awareness to it.

Write to elected officials, someone up there will care. As far as helping with donations you can donate here to Survival International. Their mission is to prevent the annihilation of indigenous tribes. if you guys know of other organizations, maybe local, that can help please add them. 

Brazil’s indigenous people shouldn’t be threatened with violence and persecuted while the rest of the word just sits back and watches. Not in this day and age. Please get the word out there.

People of color are treated terribly in Brazil, and white Brazil does a really good job at ignoring it. I remember I had an ex-whtie friend who vehemently denied teh racism in Brazil.

Their native population is very mistreated and very misrepresented, and with the new political power in Brazil already, the indigenous peoples and other groups of people in color (mainly black) are in trouble.

A lot of people don’t even know they'res an indigenous group in Brazil, so please share this if you can!

I did my ancestry test and found out I had 3% Indigenous Amazonian — shits wild. I hope my people make it out alive ✊🏽
