The Belo Monte Dam: Greatest “Natural” Disaster of Our Generation? by Shane Puthuparambil

Encontro Xingu ‘08
ipcst08.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/_... Encontro Xingu ‘08 Day 5: Riverside Departure 27 May 2008 Participants began to assemble at the riverside from 7:30 with the arrival of buses loaded with rural workers and small farmers from the surrounding area. Many had started out in the small hours just to attend this last day; others had been in Altamira for some days. By the time the Indians arrived, more than an hour later, the non-Indians were in full swing. They formed an arena surrounded by banners, and several community leaders made impassioned speeches. An unexpected arrival was the BBC’s Bruce Parry. He is in the Amazon making a series with Indus Films, following the river from its source in the Peruvian Andes to its mouth. Cameraman Keith’s video camera simply dwarfed everyone else’s, as did the Indus crew of seven. Bruce was not here specifically to cover the Encontro Xingu, but such a unique gathering of Indians and rural people was an opportunity the team could not resist. They seemed bowled over by the sheer scale of the event, but confused about why the Brazilian Government had decided not to send any senior representatives to hear the Indians’ case. The Kayapo arrived in a column, dancing and chanting. Keith, who is very tall, was surrounded by the warriors as they swept into the arena, circling in the traditional way. He relished the experience and emerged beaming. Instinctively sensing another photo opportunity, the Indians rushed into the water, making symbolic use of the river to highlight their relationship with it. -

Brazil's Belo Monte Dam: Lessons of an Amazonian Resource Struggle
Vol. 148, No. 2-3 · Research article Brazil’s Belo Monte Dam: Lessons of an Amazonian resource DIE ERDE struggle Journal of the Geographical Society of Berlin Philip M. Fearnside National Institute for Research in Amazonia (INPA), Av. André Araújo, 2936, Manaus, Amazonas, CEP 69067-375, Brazil, [email protected] Manuscript submitted: 6 April 2016 / Accepted for publication: 24 March 2017 / Published online: 27 September 2017 Abstract The struggle to stop Brazil’s Belo Monte Dam, whose reservoir was filled in December 2015, has lessons for other resource struggles in Amazonia and beyond. Among the impediments that failed to halt the dam were the resistance efforts of both indigenous and non-indigenous victims of the dam’s impacts, as well as the non- governmental organizations and other actors supporting their cause. The pro-dam side had massive political and financial support from the top levels of the Brazilian government, including vigorous involvement of the country’s president. At the same time, achievements of the anti-dam side, particularly the local grassroots organizations, have provided inspiration for resource struggles elsewhere (although the victories of the resis- tance are significantly less definitive than was thought by many at the time). Zusammenfassung Die Auseinandersetzungen um einen Stopp des Belo Monte Staudamms in Brasilien, dessen Stausee im Dezem- ber 2015 geflutet wurde, beinhalten Lehren für andere Ressourcenkonflikte in Amazonien und darüber hinaus. Zu den Kräften, denen es letztendlich nicht gelungen war, den Staudammbau aufzuhalten, gehörten vor allem- die Widerstandbemühungen der indigenen und nicht-indigenen direkt vom Staudammbau Betroffenen, die von- Nicht-Regierungsorganisationen und anderen Akteuren in ihrer Sache unterstützt worden waren. -

Atassinari KARIPUNAS
KARIPUNAS” E “BRASILEIROS” A TRAJETÓRIA DE DOIS TERMOS Uma contribuição à história indígena da região do baixo Rio Oiapoque Antonella Maria Imperatriz Tassinari GT: Etnologia Indígena XXI Encontro Anual da ANPOCS Caxambu, 27 a 31 de outubro de 1998. “KARIPUNAS” E “BRASILEIROS” A TRAJETÓRIA DE DOIS TERMOS 1 “... a objetivação etnonímica inside primordialmente sobre os outros , não sobre quem está em posição de sujeito. Os etnônimos são nomes de terceiros, pertencem à categoria do ‘eles’, não à categoria do ‘nós’ .” (Viveiros de Castro 1996:126). Este paper é dedicado à história da população Karipuna do Rio Curipi, região do Baixo Oiapoque, Norte do Amapá, de um ponto de vista externo ao grupo, através de uma análise sobre a trajetória de seu etnônimo 2. A história dessa população é quase inteiramente desconhecida, embora haja vasta documentação histórica sobre a região em que habita (Caetano da Silva 1861, Paranhos 1898,1945). Há citações sobre os Caripous na região do Oiapoque no século XVII, mas este etnônimo deixa de aparecer nas fontes do século seguinte (embora seja citado em diversas regiões da Amazônia), para ressurgir no século XIX. Alguns autores consideram que a população do Curipi formou-se por refugiados da Cabanagem (Coudreau 1893, Arnaud 1989a, 1996), deslocando a história do grupo, da região do Oiapoque, para a costa paraense. Considero que, para melhor compreender a história vivenciada por esta população, é preciso fazer uma distinção entre a trajetória de seu etnônimo, e as diversas trajetórias de vida dos atuais Karipuna e de seus antepassados. Isso porque o termo nem sempre esteve associado à população do Curipi (às famílias que ali habitam e seus antepassados, ou a outras famílias ali residentes em momentos diversos) e fazer esta separação será útil para entender o próprio significado que hoje tem o nome Karipuna, referindo-se à identidade étnica atualmente compartilhada pela população do Rio Curipi. -
Prosodic Distinctions Between the Varieties of the Upper Xingu Carib Language: Results of an Acoustic Analysis
AMERINDIA n°35, 2011 Prosodic distinctions between the varieties of the Upper Xingu Carib language: results of an acoustic analysis Glauber Romling da SILVA & Bruna FRANCHETTO UFRJ, CNPq 1. Introduction: the Upper-Xingu Carib language and its varieties The Carib subsystem of Upper Xingu consists of four local groups: the Kuikuro (four villages, with a fifth one being formed), the Matipu and Nahukwá (who live together in three villages), and the Kalapalo (two villages). All these groups speak a language which belongs to one of the two meridional branches of the Carib family (Meira & Franchetto 2005), and which nowadays presents two main varieties: one spoken by the Kuikuro and the younger Matipu generations, and the other spoken by the Kalapalo and the Nahukwá. Franchetto (2001) states that “we could establish a common origin of the Upper-Xingu Carib from which the first big division would have unfolded (Kalapalo/Nahukwá vs. Kuikuro/Matipu).” These two varieties distinguish themselves by lexical as well as rhythmic differences. According to Franchetto (2001: 133), “in the Carib subsystem of the Culuene river, the interplay between socio-political identities of the local groups (ótomo) is based on distinct rhythmic and prosodic structures”. Speakers express themselves metaphorically when talking about their linguistic identities. From a Kuikuro point of view (or 42 AMERINDIA n°35, 2011 from whom is judging the other) we get the assumption of speaking ‘straight’ (titage) as opposed to speaking as the Kalapalo/Nahukwá do, which is ‘in curves, bouncy, wavy’ (tühenkgegiko) or ‘backwards’ (inhukilü) (Franchetto 1986; Fausto, Franchetto & Heckenberger 2008). In any case, the idea of ‘straightness’ as a way of speaking reveals a value judgment with regard to what it is not. -
Indigenous Peoples and Development Projects in Brazilian Amazonia
SÉRIE ANTROPOLOGIA 364 THE CHALLENGES OF INTERCULTURALITY: Indigenous Peoples and Sustainable Development Subprojects in Brazilian Amazonia Paul E. Little Brasília 2004 2 THE CHALLENGES OF INTERCULTURALITY: Indigenous Peoples and Sustainable Development Subprojects in Brazilian Amazonia Paul E. Little University of Brasilia Introduction The Pilot Program for the Protection of Brazilian Tropical Forests (hereafter “Pilot Program”) grew out of national and international concern over the accelerated destruction of the world’s tropical rain forests and currently represents the most ambitious ongoing effort in Brazil to protect its Amazon and Atlantic tropical forests. Based upon a proposal originally made by then German Chancellor Helmut Kohl at the 1990 Group of Seven Industrialized Countries1 (G-7) meeting in Houston, the Pilot Program began operation in 1995, after several years of intense negotiations and program design initiatives, with joint financing by the G-7 countries and the Brazilian government (see Fatheuer 1994). The PD/A (Demonstrative Projects Type A) Project, which will be analyzed here, promotes innovative development initiatives at the local level through the financing of small-scale sustainable development subprojects.2 The Project also seeks to disseminate those experiences that have proven to be successful, thereby providing a positive “demonstrative” effect for the implementation of environmentally sustainable production techniques. The PD/A Project is one of the few spaces within the entire Pilot Program that directly involves local civil society associations, organizations and cooperatives as an integral part of its programming. In its first nine years of operation, the PD/A Project financed a total of 194 sustainable development subprojects, of which 21 involved, directly or indirectly, Indigenous peoples: 16 in the Amazon region and 5 in the Atlantic forest region. -
