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.

Those phone boots here from Brazil or whatever they are called were so charming, I miss it
[Images description: There are two illustrations, both feature a woman speaking on a brazilian public phone.
In the first image, the phone cabin is round and seem to be filled with an orange colored tea, orange slices, strawberry and mint. The telephone inside is covered by drawings and assorted stickers. The stand that supports the cabin is covered in moss and blue flowers and a blue bird sit atop of it. The woman using it is thin, black, with dark coily hair pulled behind a blue and yellow headscarf. She is talking and plays with the red phone wire and wears clothing in the same palette as the phone cabin.
On the second image, the phone cabin is filled with juice, lemon and cucumber slices and flowers. The telephone inside is also covered by drawings and assorted stickers. The stand that supports the cabin has pink flowers growing and a green dragonfly at the top. The woman using it is fat, pale, has straight hair put in a side braid and holds the phone in both hands. She also wear clothes matching the phone cabin. End description]
