The documentary video denounces illegal mining within the Raposa Serra do Sol Indigenous Land through the testimony of several leaders in the region. The situation has worsened in the last two years due to a relaxation of environmental laws and the incentive by state and federal governments to facilitate mining and mining in Indigenous Lands.
In the country, we have seen the massive invasion of miners in all indigenous territories in Brazil, especially in the northern region. Even lands that are demarcated and homologated, or that are in the process of being demarcated, live with insecurity and threats.
The Raposa Serra do Sol Indigenous Land has 206 communities, with a population of 26,705 indigenous people from the Macuxi, Wapichana, Taurepang, Sapará and Ingaricó peoples. The leaders of Raposa Serra do Sol are against mining and ask for urgent and legal measures to curb this type of activity, which is causing environmental destruction and threatening native peoples.
