Munduruku Self-Demarcation in the Amazon

Autodemarcação Munduruku

Munduruku realizam a autodemarcação da Terra Indígena Sawré Muybu. Se homologada, a área não poderá ser alagada. O processo de demarcação ocorre há anos, mas, por estar no caminho da hidrelétrica, foi paralisado pelo governo, negando aos índios um direito garantido na Constituição. Itaituba, Pará. 28/10/2014.
