The Struggle for Pataxó Peoples' Rights, Territory, and Environment in Brazil

 A Luta pelos Direitos, Território e Meio Ambiente dos Povos Pataxó no Brasil 

Tired of waiting for a State solution regarding their land rights, the Pataxó Indigenous Peoples from the southern state of Bahia, in Northeast Brazil, are reclaiming their lands that are part of the last great strongholds of the forest biome. In the process of land reclamation, Indigenous leaders are suffering attacks from armed violence by criminal groups legitimized by deliberate negligence on the part of the State. In September, 14-year-old Pataxó teenager Gustavo Silva da Conceiçãowas murdered during a violent attack against the Comexatibá Indigenous Land (TI). This webinar aims to inform about what is happening and mobilize international support.

Cansados de esperar por uma solução estatal acerca da regularização dos seus territórios de ocupação tradicional, o Povo Indígena Pataxó, do extremo sul do estado da Bahia, Nordeste brasileiro, intensificou o processo de retomadas dessas terras que são parte dos últimos grandes redutos do bioma mata atlântica na região. Tais áreas vêm sendo espoliadas e devastadas por empreendimentos hoteleiros, indústria da celulose, agropecuária e outras atividades colonizadoras decorrentes da política anti-indígena do atual governo brasileiro e seus apoiadores. Nesse processo de retomada territorial, sofrem violência armada praticada por grupos criminosos legitimados pela negligência deliberada por parte do Estado. No mês de setembro, o adolescente indígena Gustavo Silva da Conceição, Pataxó de apenas 14 anos de idade, foi assassinado durante um violento ataque contra a Terra Indígena (TI) Comexatibá. Essa webinar visa informar a sociedade e buscar apoio.
