"If I become President there will not be a centimeter more indigenous land." – Jair Bolsonaro


Hello friend,

Tragically for Brazil's Indians, Jair Bolsonaro did indeed become President in January 2019. Since then, there's been a dramatic increase in violent attacks and land invasions. 

But I want to welcome you to Survival by sharing this message of resistance, encouragement and strength from Jaqueline Guarani Kaiowá. She has news for anyone who thinks President Bolsonaro will have an easy time bulldozing her people’s rights: 

Bolsonaro threatens to undo decades of hard-fought victories. But the world is watching. The end of January saw the largest international protest in support of indigenous rights, ever. Survival supporters joined Brazil's Indians and took to social media and the streets around the world to demand an end to the genocide of Brazil's indigenous peoples.

We have 50 years of experience fighting for the rights of tribal peoples in Brazil and around the world, and we'll be putting it to good use in the fight ahead.

Thank you for joining us at this critical time and in Survival's 50th year – none of this would be possible without the help of our supporters.

Best wishes,

Alice

• Fighting for the rights of tribes like the Sentinelese

The Sentinelese live on a small island in the Indian Ocean. They've made it very clear that they want to be left alone. The death of an American missionary at their hands in 2018 was a tragedy that could have been avoided, and which captured the attention of millions around the world.

• Talking about the uncontacted frontier

The borders of Peru, Brazil and Bolivia are home to more uncontacted tribes than anywhere else on the planet. Where their land is intact, they are thriving. But elsewhere, oil exploration, loggers, drug-traffickers and roads are putting their lives in danger. It's a continuation of the genocide which claimed countless tribes after Columbus set foot in the Americas. Together, we can stop it.

We've been leading the global campaign for uncontacted tribes since 1969. We’re fighting back against those who would steal tribal peoples’ lands, impose unwanted contact or force tribes to join the “mainstream.” But we can’t do it without your support. Help us spread the word by sharing our amazing film about uncontacted tribes.
