Title A name given to the resource Vol. 6, no. 4 (8).pdf PDF Text Text I In the state of Maranhao, in the so-called Brazilian pre-Amazonian region, the fight between the Guajajara Indians and invaders of the Cafia Brava Indian Area was resumed. In the first week of July, inhabitants of the village of Sao Pedro dos Cacetes, which is located in the heart of the Indian territory, invaded theCrioli village and abducted seven Guajajara Indians, making them hostages. The invaders wanted to malce sure that in case they are indeed forced to leave that village they will be resettled and indemnified for all improvements they introduced in the area. The Indians ended up being released on July 3rd, but almost three thousand invaders remained in the Indian area. Kuna Indian delegate at Kari-oca village, Rio. Photo SAIIC On May 14th, nine Federal Police officers invaded the Sabonete village and tortured several Guajajara Indians, including women and children, allegedly to carry out "an operation against the traffic of marijuana and hashish." The shots fired these officers were heard in the distance by other Indians, who gathered around them and seized their weapons in the ensuing fight. The first tenant farmers of Sao Pedro dos Cacetes settled in Canabrava at least 30 years ago, against the will of the Guajajara Indians. After nine pregnant Indian women were killed by the invaders, FUNAI (National Indian Foundation) provided the government of the state of Maranhao, in 1979, with federal funds to remove and resettle those families, which totaled 1247 in that year. Nobody knows what that government did with those funds, as the invaders were not removed from the area in question. Right now, the Guajajara Indians are being pressured to accept the existence of the village in their lands. In exchange for this, they would be provided with another area. But even if the Indians accept this arrangement, conflicts are not likely to end and the Guajajara people might reclaim the area occupied by the village at any moment; according to the Constitution, the rights of the Indians over their lands are imprescriptible. (Brazil), Conflicts have been exploding in several parts of Brazil in recent weeks as a result of the noncompliance, by the Brazilian government, of constitutional obligations to Indian peoples. These conflicts could be avoided if measures such as the removal of invaders from Indian lands were taken. A woodcutter was arrow-shot to death on July 3rd by Uru-Eu-Wau-Wau Indians in the Amazonian state of Rondonia. The Uru-Eu-Wau-Wau are one of the last free peoples of the Amazon. Two brothers of that woodcutter, who were also arrow-shot, narrowly escaped from being killed also. The three men had been removing hardwood from the lands of those Indians for several months. Invasions of the Uru-Eu-Wau-Wau area became more intense as of the 80's. Through INCRA (Colonization and Land Reform Institute), the government itself issued several title deeds for lands included in the Indian territory, in addition to settling families of tenant farmers there. Although the demarcation of Source: Indianist Missionary Council (CIMI) this territory was finalized in October of.last year, the newsletter invasions were not halted, particular! y those of woodFor further information SAIIC recommends the cutters.
