The first was made directly to Amnesty International by an internationally renowned Brazilian indigenous leader. The second was made publicly by the Guarani-Kaiowá community of Cerro MarangatuinMatoGrossodoSulstate,threatenedwithevictionfromtheirancestral home - land that already has been officially demarcated in their favour by the Braziliangovernment. Amnesty International has documented and campaigned against human rights violations committed against indigenous peoples in Brazil, their leaders and those who defend them, for many years. In 2005 they continue to be victims of attacks, killings and other forms of violence and discrimination, often committed with impunity.

  • 13. Indigenous Children and Adolescents
    Indigenous children and adolescents in an anthropological perspective: rethinking intercultural ethnical conflicts 1 Cristhian Teófilo da Silva Abstract Indigenous children and adolescents in an anthropological perspective: Rethinking about intercultural ethical conflicts This article presents anthropological approaches about the cultural reality of indigenous children and adoles- cents and their differentiated cultural rights in Brazil. The aim is to outline the anthropological perspective on different representa tions that indigenous people have on children and youth, as well as the social problems faced by them, in order to discuss about the ethical conflicts and the att empts to legislate such issues in Brazil. The article also emphasizes the way how issues related to child labor, poverty and infanticide among indige- nous people suffer dist ortions as they are targeted by non-indigenous universalistic morality from a Christian influence. It also points out how some initiatives are st arting to appear in anthropology and bioethics fields, in order to interfere in practices considered morally wrong, although accepted by indigenous populations. Key Words : Human rights. Youth. Health of indigenous peoples. Bioethics. Resumo Este artigo apresenta abordagens antropológicas a realidade cultural de crianças e adolescentes indígenas e seus direitos culturais diferenciados no Brasil, voltando-se as recentes tenta tivas de regulamentação. Objetiva explicitar a perspectiva antropol ógica sobre as representações diferenciadas que os povos indígenas possuem acerca das crianças e adolescentes e os problemas sociais enfrentados por estas, de modo a problematizar os conflitos éticos interculturais e as suas tenta tivas de normatização em projetos de lei. Também enfatiza como temas relacionados ao trabalho infantil, a pobreza e ao infanticídio entre populações indígenas sofrem distorções ao serem objetivados pela moralidade não indígena universalista e cristianizada.

The 2010 Brazilian Population Census, conducted by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), im- proved research of the indigenous population, introducing on its ethnic sense, but also the language spoken at home and geograph- ical location, which are indigenous population criteria for identifying in censuses from different countries. The results potentially generated a great knowledge of the existing indigenous diversity in Brazil and a better understanding on the composition of this population segment. In 1991, the category “Indigenous” has been included as one of the options in the color/race question of the Brazilian national censuses. 1991 and 2000 censuses did not identify the each ethnic groups as only used as criterion the generic Indian, leaving to identify more than two hundred groups who inhabited the Brazilian territory. The “indigenous” previously raised by census 1991 and 2000 should not be used as a synonym and not as a substitute for “ethnic groups”, of “indigenous groups” or “indigenous population”, along the lines that predominate in the specialized anthropological literature. In 2010, for the first time in the history, IBGE provided a specific research of the census for the indigenous ethnic groups in the country.

The social importance of the indigenous languages The culture of every human society is the result of a specifi c res- ponse to the challenges nature and other human societies have imposed through millennia to human survival in physical and mental health. Even the culture of the least human society is a complete universe of integrated knowledge, strongly bound to the milieu where it was developed but also accumulating experience of the remotest past. The native language of a society is not only the means of communication that keeps social solidarity, but it is also the basic means of organizing and storing experience and knowledge. Every human language is unique in the way it codifi es knowledge and experience, for it has been shaped and reshaped following the needs for the adequate expression of an extremely diversifi ed and variable complex of mental representations.

Nos Povos Indígenas no Brasil os estudos sobre HAS são escassos. Trata-se de um estudo observacional, descritivo, de corte transversal em 20 pacientes hipertensos na população indígena da aldeia Kumarumã, município Oiapoque do norte de Amapá. O objetivo foi elaborar um projeto de intervenção educativa acerca os conhecimentos da Hipertensão e seus fatores de riscos. Confeccionou-se um questionário com preguntas relacionadas à HAS para avaliar o conhecimento dos pacientes incluídos no projeto. O presente trabalho nos permitiu evidenciar a presença de baixo nível de conhecimento do conceito e fatores de risco da Hipertensão Arterial Sistêmica na população hipertensa da aldeia de Kumarumã. 4 SUMÁRIO 1.

GE.05-11398 E/CN.4/2005/NGO/144 page 2 VIOLATIONS OF THE RIGHTS OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES IN BRAZIL In September 2002, Brazil’s governing party, the PT, published its election manifesto, ‘Commitment to Indigenous Peoples’, which was widely welcomed by indigenous peoples. One of its key aims is a ‘full guarantee to recognise and uphold the land rights and self determination’ of Brazil’s indigenous peoples. This included a ‘special, emergency programme to demarcate and ratify all indigenous territories, and to speed up this process’. It also undertook to ‘combat the impunity of those who commit crimes against indigenous people’. Today, indigenous peoples continue to suffer the denial of land rights, illegal occupation and invasion of their lands, violent attacks and the theft and plunder of their resources. Little over 50% of indigenous land has been fully ratified by the government, and about 20% of indigenous land has either not been identified at all, or is only at the initial stage of identification, in clear violation of Brazil’s constitution which states that all indigenous territories should have been fully recognised by October 1993.

    ASPECTOS COMUNS DA ORGANIZAÇÃO SOCIAL KAINGANG, XAVANTE E BORORO1 JULIANA SOARES2 UNISINOS RESUMO: Durante o desenvolvimento do Projeto Taió (Arqueologia do Planalto Catarinense), foram realizadas pesquisas etno-históricas a respeito dos Jê Meridionais - Tradição Taquara/Itararé e seus descendentes Kaingang. Os resultados desses estudos levaram à necessidade de obter dados que permitam discutir como se constituiu a identidade étnica do grupo, percebendo de que maneira o processo migratório para a Região Sul influenciou sua especificidade cultural. A estratégia utilizada para abordar a questão foi perceber o Kaingang dentro do contexto dos Povos Jê, confrontando-o, através de análise comparativa, com as sociedades Xavante e Bororo a fim de mapear elementos distintos e comuns de suas estruturas de organização social. Os resultados obtidos vêm auxiliar os estudos culturais Kaingang e a interpretação de dados arqueológicos. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Kaingang; Xavante; Bororo; análise comparativa. ABSTRACT: During the development of the Taió Project (Archaeology of the Santa Catarina Highlands), were held ethnohistorical research about the Southern Jê - Taquara / Itararé Tradition and their descendants Kaingang. The results of these studies led to the need for data to discuss how the ethnic identity of the group, realizing in which way the migration process for the South Region influenced their cultural specificity. The strategy used to address the issue was realizing the Kaingang within the context of Jê People, confronting it, through comparative analysis to the Xavante and Bororo societies to map different elements and their joint structures of social organization. The results come help the Kaingang cultural studies and the interpretation of archaeological data. KEYWORDS: Kaingang; Xavante; Bororo; comparative analysis.

    NOT ALL IN ONE RHYTHM: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE MEDIA DISCOURSE AGAINST THE INDIGENOUS RE-EXISTENCE OF THE MARAKÁ’NÀ VILLAGE IN KÛÁNÃPARÁ by Alexandre Cursino A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Department of Leadership, Higher and Adult Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Alexandre Cursino 2016 NOT ALL IN ONE RHYTHM: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE MEDIA DISCOURSE AGAINST THE INDIGENOUS RE-EXISTENCE OF THE MARAKÁ’NÀ VILLAGE IN KÛÁNÃPARÁ Master of Arts 2016 Alexandre Cursino Department of Leadership, Higher and Adult Education University of Toronto Abstract Indigenous people created the re-existence known as Maraká’nà village, by re-occupying the sacred territory of a building in Kûánãpará (Rio de Janeiro) located next to the popular Maracanã stadium. The village became a meeting place for re-existences that encompass issues of Indigenous sovereignty, sacred land right, spirituality practices, decolonizing education, and the creation of the first Intercultural Indigenous University in Pindorama. It challenged the economic and social impacts of the neoliberal sports mega-events, which raised tensions during the organization of sports mega-events. These tensions were amplified through media discourse, by perpetuating violent treatment of Indigenous peoples, and naturalizing the dominant elite. Employing a transdisciplinary methodology that combines Critical Discourse Analysis and Critical Political Economy, this study examines the media discourse that obstructs the Indigenous re-existence of Maraká’nà by favoring capitalist structures. Despite demonstrating unbalanced power relations, the findings show unbalanced power relations Maraká'nà and media discourses.
