Lula recognizes six ancestral lands, with the largest two in the Amazon. His action was welcomed by the Indigenous movement
Brazil President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva on Friday granted official recognition of nearly 800 square miles of Indigenous lands, following through on a campaign promise in a move that also protects critical Amazon rainforest from commercial exploitation.
At an encampment of Indigenous people in capital Brasilia, Lula addressed a packed crowd that also included workers from the federal government’s Indigenous affairs agency, who chanted and held banners during the ceremony. “The demarcation will make the Nadb people feel safe and protected within our territory. That is where we live, fish, hunt, and gather fruits. We want to continue there, like our ancestors,” chief Eduardo Castelo, 45, told The Associated Press in a phone interview. “We don’t want the impact of the whites on our territory.”
