Representatives of indigenous groups protecting the “Uncontacted People,” indigenous people living in the Brazilian Rainforest have come to the USA to ask Amercians to understand that these protected people in protected areas of the Brazilian Amazon are endangered, as the rainforest is being attacked by agi-industry, mining, and the current president of Brazil, who wants to open up these areas for profit, despite constitutional protections against this.
Luiz Henrique Eloy Amado, an attorney visiting from Brazil who works with activist groups and indigenous tribes, describes in detail what is happening and the activism being mobilized by “modernized” indigenous people in Brazil, to protect the “uncontacted people.”
