Land grabbers force indigenous leaders to sign treaty that reduce their territory

The substantial increase of invaders in the Apyterewa Indigenous Land, in São Félix do Xingu, in the state of Pará, during Bolsonaro’s administration, caused the chiefs of the Parakanã ethnic group to “accept” the “agreement” to reduce the 50.7% of their Indigenous Land, ratified 14 years ago, as proposed by land grabbers in the region.

It is estimated that 3,000 people are invading the territory in the most deforested municipality in the Amazon. The ceded part of the territory could be worth up to R$3.9 billion and reinforces the fear of losing demarcated indigenous reservations to land grabbers. The story was explained in detail in the report by Rubens Valente on UOL.
