Fight the atrocities Indians in Brazil are facing.

Created by N.K. on November 08, 2012

A group of Brazilian Indians who endured violence and death to return to their land have made a dramatic appeal to the government after learning that they face eviction once more. The 170 Indians, members of the 46,000-strong Guarani tribe in Brazil, have suffered several brutal attacks since going back to a small part of their ancestral land. The Indians’ territory, known as Pyelito Kuê/ M’barakai, is now occupied by a ranch. The Indians are surrounded by the rancher’s gunmen, with little access to food or health care. Last month a judge ordered their eviction. They refuse to leave and petitioned Genocide over leaving. Ancestral land should remain sacred!
