Last week, thousands of Indigenous people and their allies converged in Brazil's capital for the 20th Free Land Camp, a major annual mobilization that strives to amplify the voices and resistance of Indigenous peoples while advancing the struggle for Indigenous rights to land demarcation and sovereignty.

Organized by the Association of Brazil’s Indigenous Peoples, this year’s gathering was entitled “Our Existence Is Ancestral: We Have Always Been Here!” – a message explicitly countering the virulent anti-Indigenous narratives that underpin attacks by agribusiness and mining interests in Brazil’s Congress.

The weeklong mobilization achieved significant results, including President Lula’s reception of a group of 40 leaders, leading to the creation of a “task force” to address “legal and political” issues related to Indigenous land demarcations.

Amazon Watch’s Brazil team was present throughout the week working closely with our partners and allies, and we've brought back photos to share from the events.
