On May 21, the Indigenous Council of Roraima (CIR) delivered a motorcycle to the 26 de Abril de 77 Surveillance and Monitoring Post for use by the Indigenous Territorial Protection and Surveillance Group (GPVTI) in the Serras region, Raposa Serra do Sol indigenous land.
The CIR, together with the leaders of the region, has been working with projects aimed at the area of political strengthening of leaders and their initiatives, whether they are production, territorial protection, or defense of rights.
Enock Taurepang, deputy coordinator of the CIR, highlighted that the organization seeks to establish partnerships to overcome the difficulties and the acquisition of the vehicle was a demand of the leaders, to meet the needs of the regional coordination of the GPVIT, responsible for making the articulation of visiting the bases and surveillance posts.
"The vehicle comes to give support, and it is an additional force for the leaders of that region to organize and further strengthen their articulations, decision-making and monitoring of regional activities," he said. "This is the CIR that has lived fifty years and is ready to live another 50 years, with us always united, strong brave."
The project that met the demand of the leaders is made possible by the Royal Norwegian Embassy (ERN) and serves the defense of policies, rights and the strengthening of indigenous regions in the context of the pandemic.
