In Rio de Janeiro, Indigenous people fight to undo centuries of erasure by Karla Mendes on 30 June 2021 Rio de Janeiro holds a special place in Brazil’s history, but many of its residents are unaware of the city’s Indigenous heritage from the names of iconic places like Ipanema and Maracanã, to the Indigenous slave labor that built some of its most recognizable structures. Nearly 7,000 Indigenous people live in Rio, the fourth-biggest population among Brazilian cities; a unique interactive map by Mongabay shows how they’re spread across the city, as well as their living conditions and ethnic groups. Despite their presence, and Rio’s famed diversity and laidback culture, Indigenous people in the city continue to face prejudice and a “silencing” of their traditions and culture that they attribute to centuries of efforts to erase them and make them invisible.
