Thousands of Indigenous people marched on Thursday in Brazil's capital, calling on the government to officially recognize lands they have lived on for centuries and to protect territories from criminal activities like illegal mining. With posters bearing messages like, “The future is Indigenous,” they walked towards Three Powers Square, where Congress, the Supreme Court, and the Planalto presidential palace are located in Brasilia. Indigenous leaders from the Kayapo, Panará and Munduruku tribes said they hadn't been adequately consulted and feared the new infrastructure would lead to increased deforestation.
