Description

Maurício Ye’kuana (Ye’kuana Indigenous People, Brazil), delves into the struggle of the Yanomami Indigenous People to oppose illegal gold mining in the Brazilian Amazon as well as the Brazilian government’s failure to respond meaningfully to this ongoing crisis. In the second installment of Crossing The River, concepts at the heart of the so-called First World – like progress, consumption, and extraction – are called into question as Maurício discusses the steps Indigenous peoples in the Amazon have taken to defend their lives and territories.
