Brazil, Reimagined? A Historic Win

Published: Sept. 25, 2023, 2:09 p.m.

b"On September 21st, there was a historic victory for indigenous people in Brazil, when the supreme court voted against a proposal for a time frame argument to limit indigenous land claims. Thereby, the court blocked agribusiness supported efforts to prevent indigenous communities claiming land they did not physically occupy in 1988. \\n\\nFor this new episode of 'Brazil, Reimagined?' I talked to the people involved in the protests against the time frame argument; to the people who have been fighting for their lands for years; and to the people who are working every day to reconstruct what was destroyed or erased. Forests, cultures, and knowledge. \\n\\nI went further than I imagined I would go, deep into the forests of Acre, about 10 hours travelling by boat from Mancio Lima, the last town that can be reached over land. \\n\\nThere, I met the leaders of the Nawa, one of the last people in Acre whose claim for land is not yet recognised by the federal government. And I talked to the leader of the Nukini, who is working to recover ancestral knowledge and cultures to reunite his people, and work together to protect their land. \\n\\nPresentation and editing: \\nNadine Vermeulen \\n\\nInterviews with: \\n\\u2022\\tLucila Nawa, leader of the Nawa \\n\\u2022\\tRailson Nawa, general leader of the Nawa (cacique)\\n\\u2022\\tRuk\\xe3 Paulo Almeida Nukini, general leader of the Nukini (cacique). \\n\\nShort interviews protests against time frame argument Rio Branco: \\n-\\tRuwi Manchineri, protest organiser and director MATPHA \\n-\\tAngela Mendes, coordinator of the Comit\\xea Chico Mendes\\n-\\tMukani Huni Kuin, coordinator Huni Kuin youth movement\\n-\\tYube Huni Kuin, vice-coordinator Huni Kuin youth movement \\n\\nDubbing: \\nSophie Bergisch, Ani Deal, Parker Deal \\n\\nMusic included in this episode: \\n\\u2022\\tUm sonho by Na\\xe7\\xe3o Zumbi\\n\\u2022\\t\\xcdndio encantado by Ruk\\xe3 Paulo Almeida Nukini and Railson Nawa\\n\\nMedia extracts: \\n\\u2022\\tBrazil Court Rules in Favor of Indigenous Rights (Reuters), 22-09-2023 \\n\\u2022\\tTxai Surui\\u2019s Full Speech at COP26. \\n\\n~Interviews recorded between 07-06 and 28-06 in Acre, Brazil."
