Firing arrows, indigenous people in Brazil protest Bill curtailing land rights

Indigenous people march to the entrance of the Chamber of Deputies to protest against Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro's proposals to allow mining on Indigenous lands in Brasilia, Brazil on Jun 16, 2021. BRASILIA: Several hundred indigenous Brazilians protested outside the Congress building in Brasilia on Wednesday against a Bill backed by the country's farm sector that would limit recognition of reservation lands.

"This Bill PL 490 is harmful not just to us, but to humanity," Sonia Guajajara, head of Brazil's largest indigenous umbrella organization APIB, told Reuters. Brazil's Supreme Court must rule on a case that would set jurisprudence in the issue and is expected to uphold indigenous arguments that fixing the 1988 date violates constitutional guarantees to ancestral lands."The Bill was rejected by the human rights commission in 2009. This is an unacceptable setback for indigenous rights and a constitutional absurdity," Brazil's only indigenous lawmaker Joenia Wapichana said in a congressional committee session.
