An Unrelenting Contempt: Milei’s Offensive Against Indigenous Rights

BY ALEXIA CAMPOS FOR INDIGENOUS DEBATES 

The government is moving to repeal the Indigenous territorial emergency law that halts evictions while it promotes bills on Indigenous consultation and communal property that require communities to obtain legal personhood to have their rights recognized.

What is striking is not its intent but the method: the relentless speed of its cruelty.

MARTHA FELLOWS Y SINEIA DO VALE PARA DEBATES INDÍGENAS

Brazil is experiencing unprecedented extreme climate events, such as severe droughts and wildfires. Meanwhile, the federal government is reviewing its National Adaptation Plan, which represents an opportunity to include Indigenous perspectives in climate policy and change the future scenario. It took more than 500 years for Indigenous Peoples in Brazil to have their own Ministry. The question is: how many more will be needed to decolonize climate policies?
