24-year-old Hamangaí Pataxó is the national coordinator of Engajamundo, an NGO that works on environmental issues with young people throughout Brazil.

Hamangaí Pataxó has represented her communities in other international events.

“I am here to denounce the violations that our indigenous peoples in Brazil are facing. It is a scenario of attacks, persecutions, murder. All people who defend human and socio-environmental rights are vulnerable to losing their own lives. I'm here to echo a cry for help and, at the same time, bring a little of the struggle and importance of indigenous peoples in conserving biodiversity and defending life.”

“Women are sacred because they generate life, because they generate food,” she continues. “She is sacred because she brings ancestral knowledge, sensitivity, healing through medicinal plants. She is sacred because she brings the message, the word, the advice, the wisdom that comes from the heart, that comes from within. She is sacred because she is an extension of nature.” she says, proudly wearing a blue feather headdress that signifies power.

Asserting women's sacred identification with nature, or in Hamangaí’s words “an extension of nature”, is a powerful way of defending rights. It is also part of a broader process of strengthening Indigenous identity.

"Trial scheduled for September 20th at the Supreme Federal Court may determine the future of Indigenous Lands in Brazilian territory and be crucial for the global climate. The indigenous movement is mobilizing across Brazil, and an indigenous delegation from Apib is in New York during Climate Week to strengthen the international mobilization campaign in defense of Indigenous Lands rights."

"We are on the land, and the land is within us. If the land dies, we as indigenous peoples die."

The Articulação dos Povos Indígenas do Brasil (Articulation of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil — APIB) is calling for nationwide mobilizations this week and participating in the New York Climate Week to alert the world to the risks of the Supreme Federal Court (STF) judgment scheduled for September 20th. The court will vote on the legitimacy of the legal concept known as the "Temporal Framework," advocated by the Brazilian agribusiness, which could reevaluate Indigenous Land demarcations and impact global climate crisis mitigation efforts.

The Temporal Framework suggests that only indigenous people who can prove they were living on the land in 1988, the same year the Federal Constitution was created, should have rights to the land. This disregards the forced displacements of hundreds of indigenous groups who could only reclaim their traditional lands after Brazil's redemocratization in the late 1980s.

This week, the 15th edition of Climate Week is taking place in New York from September 17th to 24th, alongside the 78th Session of the United Nations General Assembly from September 19th to 23rd, which will feature a speech by President Lula during its opening. A delegation of 10 indigenous leaders is in New York to participate in Climate Week's activities. The international mobilization's goal is to emphasize to the world that the Temporal Framework is a threat to the lives of Brazil's indigenous peoples and could exacerbate the climate crisis, as Indigenous Lands serve as a reservoir of life on the planet.

Apib and its regional organizations are reinforcing mobilizations in territories, cities, and Brasília against the Temporal Framework on September 20th. The goal is to monitor the trial and strengthen the next steps of the indigenous movement's fight. The organizations within Apib mobilized over 220 protests in 21 states, including the Federal District, between May and June.

Five Supreme Federal Court (STF) justices are yet to vote in the trial. The current tally stands at four votes against the Temporal Framework thesis and two in favor. Justices Edson Fachin, Alexandre de Moraes, Cristiano Zanin, and Luís Roberto Barroso have expressed opposition to the agribusiness-backed thesis, while the only favorable votes came from justices appointed by former President Jair Bolsonaro, André Mendonça, and Nunes Marques.

On the same day as the STF vote, the Brazilian Senate attempts to put the Temporal Framework into law. The ruralist caucus in Congress seeks to create tension with the Brazilian judiciary since there is a possibility that the STF may invalidate the Temporal Framework thesis.

In addition to the Temporal Framework, Bill 2903 proposes other setbacks to the rights of indigenous peoples, such as the construction of highways and hydroelectric plants in indigenous territories without free, prior, and informed consent from affected communities. The proposal also aims to allow farmers to enter production contracts with indigenous people, violating the rights of indigenous peoples to the exclusive use of demarcated territories.

While some falsely claim that "there is too much land for too few indigenous people in Brazil," Apib counters that there is too much land for too few farmers and that agribusiness promotes the illegal invasion of indigenous lands. The entity asserts,

"There is no solution to the climate crisis without guaranteeing the rights of indigenous peoples and the demarcation of their territories."

Currently, nearly half of Brazil's land is in the hands of rural producers. Of the total land in the country, 41% corresponds to rural properties, 13.7% to indigenous lands, and 45.2% to other purposes, according to data published in the Official Gazette of the Union. Indigenous Lands are a guarantee of life for indigenous peoples and for all of humanity, which depends on the climate's future.

"As worsening climate crisis unfolds, many will be marked in history as accomplices to the new colonialism threatening the survival of us, indigenous peoples who inhabit the vast territory known as Brazil, and the future of all humanity because there is no solution to the climate crisis without the involvement of indigenous peoples," emphasizes Dinamam Tuxá.

Key activities of Apib during the 15th edition of Climate Week from September 17th to 24th:

On September 17th, Apib participated in the Climate Week march through the streets of New York in support of the Fight Fossil Fuel Strike. The indigenous delegation from Apib denounced the threat posed by the Temporal Framework thesis, highlighted the indigenous emergency situation concerning extractive industries and agribusiness that lead to multiple instances of violence in our territories. Additionally, as part of the Climate Week agenda, it's worth noting that Apib's executive coordinators Kleber Karipuna, Dinamam Tuxá, and other members of the indigenous delegation will participate in a talk on September 19th titled "FCLP: Rights, Participation, and Benefits for Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities in Forest Climate Financing," organized by the Forest and Climate Leaders Partnership. On September 22nd, a portion of the delegation will be present at a dialogue co-organized with H.E Razan Al Mubarak, the current president of the International Union for Conservation of Nature, to assess progress in the COP28 agenda with the aim of collectively identifying meaningful and respectful ways for Indigenous Peoples to engage in the COP.

About APIB

The Articulation of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil (Apib) is a nationally recognized entity within the indigenous movement in Brazil, created from the grassroots up.

what's incredible about the Lula win is that Bolsonaro literally changed the constitution, spent 12 billion in trying to buy out votes, and the prev election had a corrupt judge literally jail Lula from running (and then make that judge a member of his cabinet). the win -- at such narrow margins, with the ruling power seemingly having an iron fist, is possible because of the mobilisation of the Brazilian people. The margin is narrow but it is never easy to defeat fascism.

it's still not over, bolsonaro will very likely contest the results. and when the dust settles, HALF the Congress and key seats are still going to be from his party, so change is still going to be an uphill battle. but this win is important for climate, for abortion rights, for the working class to have a dignified life

also neymar has to pay taxes now 😈

#Brazil elections #brazilian politics #progress is often slow easily eroded if you do not protect it and an uphill battle. but now is the time for hope. #and caipirinhas #🍸🍸

I love how this is such a huge fuck you to our mainstream media. They've been going on for days now about how offensive it is to call it a genocide, how Lula should formally apologize to Israel or whatever and the first chance he got he was like 'I said what I said, this IS a genocide'

another aspect about all of this that makes me so upset (though every aspect of this makes me upset) is the destruction of brazilian art and culture. the Praça Dos Três Poderes (three powers' square) is a marvel in modernist architecture, projected and drawn by a communist, oscar niemeyer.

oscar niemeyer and fidel castro, who compared him to michelangelo

niemeyer wearing a cap of the Movimento dos Trabalhadores Sem Terra, the Landless Worker's Movement, a Marxist social/activist movement in brazil

this is desecration of culture. countless works of art, paintings, statues, have been stolen, broken, stabbed, destroyed. the rooms in these buildings are flooded after the terrorists started a fire inside

the rooms in the national congress, flooded with water

victor brecheret's "ballerina" statue, which was stolen

di cavalcanti's painting, which was stabbed/ripped

brazil will not forget this day. we will not allow it to be forgotten.

The year was 2018. I cried myself to sleep because my country had just elected a literal fascist for the presidency. In that moment, I had never felt more alone in my entire life.

Today, after four years of fighting tooth and nail for our democracy, for the Amazon, for the right of simply existing, my heart is full of hope for the future once again.

Thank you to each and every one of you for never giving up. There's still a lot to be done. I'm under no illusion that everything is already perfectly fine, but it's an excellent start.

Marielle Franco, Anderson, Moá do Katendê, Bruno, Dom, the almost 700k COVID victims who were killed by this government and so many others: this one was for you.

So, in Brazilian feminism and technology news, the Chamber of Deputies has approved a bill that criminalizes the creation and sharing of nude images and videos created by artificial intelligence.

The text, authored by deputy Erika Kokay (Workers' Party) and reported by deputy Luisa Canziani (Social Democratic Party), sets a penalty of 1 to 4 years in prison, in addition to a fine, for anyone who creates or disseminates “montages or modifications that aim to include a person in a nude scene or sexual act, including the use of artificial intelligence in video, audio or photography."

The bill now heads to the Senate.

hey here's a fun fact that's happening in Brazil rn

our previous president tried a coup d'etat and he even recoded and shared the link on Google Drive to anyone who has the link to see it. it was on Google meet btw.

it seems that it was recorded so that the people that wasn't present it the reunion, could see it the other day (or maybe live?)

it failed, of course. or I don't think I would be sharing this

idk. I wanna know how ppl outside Brazil would react with this.

Guys I think I'm living a coup.

It's voting day here in Brazil. Right now it's 16:05, people can only vote until 17:00.

And all day the police has been stopping people from the northeast from voting. Buses that were supposed to be free aren't coming. People can't go vote. Most of the affected are black, brown and indigenous

The northeast holds a large percentage of left wing voters. We had been counting on them to carry us through this election.

I'm queer, afab, brown and I study in a public university. The government hates me. I'm genuinely scared of what might happen to me if bolsonaro is allowed to remain in office. These four years he has been praising the military dictatorship, saying that 'it didn't kill enough people', and now the military police is stopping people from the region with his largest opposition from voting.

You cannot tell me this isn't an attempt at a coup. Please talk about this. Tweet "deixem o nordeste votar". With enough pressure, they may extend the voting time. Please, I'm begging you
