“One of the objectives of our manifesto is to give visibility to non-normative forms of sexuality and gender in the Indigenous context.”

Visibility as a means towards empowerment. That is one of the goals that the Indigenous LGBTQ+ movement in Brazil strives for as they brought their agenda to the center stage of the Free Land Camp this year in Brasília.

Organized by APIB (the Association of Brazil’s Indigenous Peoples), the Free Land Camp is the largest Indigenous gathering in Brazil, and for the first time in history participants held a plenary dedicated to the LGBTQ+ agenda.

Members of the movement from all regions of Brazil gathered onstage to present their manifesto, titled "Coloring the fight in defense of the territory," and called for recognition and respect for their existence.
