00:00I am sad, I have a lot of sadness in my heart.
00:06The Cariri Chocó tribe is of great gratitude.
00:14I will go to the base and come back with my brother.
00:26I see him with the eyes of a destroyer.
00:32But he has great allies with him who will destroy the whole Amazon.
00:39From what I see, this is what will happen.
00:42I think it's a little shame.
00:45It's discrimination against our traditional people.
00:50A great lack of respect.
00:53And from people who don't have a heart.
00:56But let's wait and see where he goes with this greed
01:02in our territory and the destruction of our people.
01:26He is doing everything he wants.
01:42Without permission from anyone else.
01:46So he is in charge.
01:48And he put the miners inside the traditional lands
01:53of our indigenous traditional people.
01:56So he applied devastation in the forests to plant soybeans.
02:02So I don't know what will happen to us and to all my traditional people.
02:08I don't know.
02:23I would like him to put his hand on his chest
02:27and think about what it would be like for him
02:32with his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren,
02:35if he could reach it.
02:37Like I did so far.
02:39Without the preserved lands, without our preserved forests
02:44and without preservation of anything.
02:47What would be of his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren?
02:54A film by
03:08I'm not afraid to speak because I don't owe anyone.
03:13I'm free.
03:15And I'm not lying, I'm telling the truth.
03:18And I only regret those who come to kill me.
03:22Because only the Great Spirit gave me life
03:25and he has the right to my death.
03:28So I'm not afraid.
03:31Now I'm worried about my people.
03:35In Brazil, it was a lot, in the Northeast,
03:39almost in weight, they were killed.
03:43But it didn't start now.
03:45That was in the Genocides, when it happened.
03:49And it seems that now is the second Genocide
03:52that is coming again.
03:54That's it.
03:56The Guarani-Caiuá, many are surrendering.
04:00At the top of the Xingu, they are surrendering.
04:04So there are many people who are afraid
04:09of what will happen
04:12if we are left without our protected territories.
04:16And they are surrendering.
04:18That's it.
04:20Many Genocides already.
04:22The message I pass on
04:24is that everyone who sees my word,
04:29who puts their hand on their heart
04:32and helps us with love, with faith,
04:37to protect our peoples,
04:40because they want to eliminate all of us.
04:44Socorro!
04:45Nos socorro!
