The Comerade is based in Santarém and has been researching and collaborating with Indigenous peoples in Pará – a state in the Brazilian Amazon.
In the presentation we will talk about how that collaboration looks like but mainly about the struggle of Indigenous peoples in the Amazon in the face of the advance of capitalism.
The region is the Main corridor for Brazil’s grain an beef exports, and there are enormous threats from the Expansion of soy agribusiness, castle ranching and mining over tge territories of Indigenous people. In addition, Lula’s Brazilian government currently wants to privatise several rivers in the Amazon, turning them into waterways for Export and priveleging multinationals sich as the American company Cargill.
As a from of resistance, Indigenous people have occupied Cargill ports, blocked highways, and carrier out self-demarcations. Meaning they do not wait for the state to demarcate their territories.
They carry out the demarcation autonomously.
We will have pictures from the spot to give you some visual impressions. And there will be the opportunity to ask questions and have a conversation with the comerade, as far as the technical limitations of a videoconverence allow it.
