We’re always talking about demarcating Indigenous territories in Brazil. But what does that even mean? 🤔 Demarcation formalizes the legal right of Indigenous people to their lands. It guarantees them legal security and complete freedom for them to use it.

In case you missed it: Indigenous leaders and organizations from South America, Asia and the Pacific came together in Jakarta, Indonesia, in a bid to strengthen the global alliance for the protection of uncontacted peoples' rights and to draft a declaration of support.

#NatureForSale 🌳🏷️ A lot of Indigenous peoples see no separation between people and the natural world. Turns out, this separation is just a modern Western concept.

#OnThisDay in 1865, US troops attacked a camp of the Paiute Indigenous people near Winnemucca Lake, Nevada, and killed 32 of them. Never forget the #CrimesOfColonialism, which continue to this day.

#NatureForSale We’ve got to recognize that the violence against Indigenous peoples against conservation doesn’t come from nowhere… It’s a product of history, ideas, images and a particular narrative around “nature”. We’re going to put it all into question: how else can we bring real change? 🤔
