Indigenous Protest Over Amazon Water Decree Enters Second Week - PopularResistance.Org Santarém, Pará, Brazil – On the 13th day blockading Cargill’s grain terminal in Santarém, Indigenous protestors are demanding in-person dialogue with Brazil’s federal government, following its failure to send representatives to a meeting last week. The arrival of dozens of Munduruku representatives from upstream on the Tapajós River bolstered this key demand to be heard and expanded the 700-strong Indigenous blockade prior to a meeting scheduled for today. The blockade is led by 14 Indigenous peoples from the Lower Tapajós basin and calls for the revocation of Decree 12,600/2025, which incorporates segments on the Tapajós, Madeira, and Tocantins rivers into Brazil’s National Privatization Program (PND). https://popularresistance.org/indigenous-protest-over-amazon-water-decree-enters-second-week/
