Euradio

Brazil, Reimagined? Episode 3: “Never Again Without Us.” “Never Again a Brazil Without Us,” were the last words of Sônia Guajajara’s speech when she took office as the minister leading the 1st Ministry of Indigenous People in Brazil. A unique moment in the history of the country. Celebrated as an important milestone in the fight of indigenous people in Brazil. For their lives and lands. For territorial rights; for the honouring of their cultures. Through the voices of indigenous leaders, civil servants and representatives of NGOs, this new episode of Brazil Reimagined provides insight into the situation of indigenous people in Rondônia. A region where indigenous territories have increasingly become under pressure as a consequence of agricultural expansion. What changed over the past years? And what might change in the upcoming? Are the tides indeed turning for indigenous people, their cultures being valued in the fight against climate change and for protection of the Amazon Forest?
