We are all Guarani-Kaiow?! We are all Maraiwatsede! ---- "The more neoliberal economic
structures want to erase the presence of alternative indigenous peoples in our midst we
should sympathize more with the presence and experience of these alternatives-root people,
people-witnesses of heart unite our full solidarity to the struggles and hopes of
indigenous peoples . The cause is all ours, all of the God of Life. "(Dom Pedro
Casald?liga) ---- We citizens, citizens and entities Mato Grosso, through this manifesto,
we raise our voices in defense of indigenous peoples because, as Don Pedro says "the cause
is a cause entranhavelmente Indigenous OUR". Nowadays many native peoples in Brazil are
subjected to an environment of brutality can be considered as survivors of genocide
committed against them history for over 500 years, demonstrating - to the astonishment of
the world (because we still need to wonder!) -
That life human, in the XXI century, is not treated with the amount due and not with
respect to their differences.
Faced with so many injustices we experience daily lift our voices and condemn AS
COLLECTIVE RIGHTS VIOLATIONS these people and, moreover, yell FOR THE LIVING WELL
RE-STRENGTHEN to EXIST in a gesture of solidarity frank, without which our existence also
loses meaning.
emphasize that violations are committed against many people, but this time we came
vehemently denounce the atrocities committed against two Brazilian indigenous peoples, the
Guarani-Kaiow?e the Xavante (Indigenous Land Maraiwatsede).
The genocide faced by the Guarani-Kaiow? of Mato Grosso do Sul is unacceptable! For the
group of 170 Indians who survive on the edge of a river, surrounded by gunmen, expelled
from their traditional lands where their ancestors are buried, where is planted their
history, where ever experienced their culture, their spirituality ... today, not them more
belongs.
There are 50 men, 50 women and 70 children who collectively decided to stay and die if
need be, die with all that is on earth belongs to them. The group, in a letter to all
Brazilians, describes his plight food (only one meal per day) and violence against them,
especially against their leaders - four deaths in a group of 170 people - two by suicide
and two by beatings and shootings. On October 30, 2012, an appeal was accepted by the
Funai justice, but the gunmen continue to intimidate and, while the process is not
completed, the Guarani-Kaiow? are at the mercy, their children remain malnourished,
continuing killings by gunfire , beatings and roadkill on highways that cross their
territories. This systematic violence adds to the Brazilian government itself in its
slowness in the process of study and demarcation of territories that have so often give in
to pressure from landowners agribusiness.
The situation, however, is not limited to one state. In Mato Grosso, the Xavante (people
A'uwe Uptabi) that inhabit the Indigenous Land Maraiwatsede await eager for the intruders
from their lands. The struggle of this people through their territory lasted more than
half a century. Since the 1960s, when the territory was occupied by the Xavante
Agricultural Sui?-missu (the largest estate in the world at the time), these Indians were
transferred to the Indigenous Land Mark, in southern Mato Grosso, and there remained about
40 years. Among the long and successive legal appeals, justice finally approved the
disengagement plan of non-Indians who occupy that indigenous territory. It was determined
that Maraiwatsede again be occupied by its first inhabitants: the Xavante people. We speak
to us in favor of these people, because DOS is Maraiwatsede XAVANTE!
Therefore, we demand that the Government of Brazil demonstrates the meaning of his
existence and commitments to society in the Federal Constitution by taking concrete action
to return to the Guarani-Kaiow?, the Xavante indigenous peoples and all Brazilians, the
right to lead their lives, with dignity and autonomy in their traditional territories. We
demand that the inalienable rights are met, unavailable and imprescriptible indigenous
peoples. And to reaffirm our commitment to strengthen our cry:
WE ALL INDIANS!
WE ARE ALL GUARANI!
WE ARE ALL XAVANTE!
