"They burned down our house."
"Children of the Moon Mountains, always fight, never give up" Retaking of Indigenous Territory, Manoá/Pium Community.
A struggle continues over long-standing claims by the Indigenous peoples of Roraima, especially the leaders of the Serra da Lua region. The dispute has lasted for more than 40 years, since the initial request for land expansion, and the case is still in court. The communities are growing stronger each day, building new houses, and the plan is to increase agricultural work and preserve the area, a hunting and fishing ground inherited from their ancestors, who still protect the territory, considered a sacred place.
