Ever wondered about the story behind Land is Life? 🌍 Born 33 years ago, in a forested valley outside of Rio de Janeiro, in a village called Kari-Oca, where nearly 1,000 Indigenous leaders had gathered to send a message to the world.

In 1992, as the world focused on the UN Earth Summit, 1,000 Indigenous Peoples held their own historic gathering. A pivotal moment that gave birth to Land is Life. For 33 years, this story remained untold—until now. #LandIsLife #IndigenousRights #33YearsOfLegacy
