18 de abril de 2024The Brazilian government is taking various measures to protect the rights of the country’s indigenous population, President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said Monday.
Lula made the remarks during an Indigenous Day celebration at Raposa Serra do Sol reserve in Uiramuta, Roraima state, in northern Brazil.
The Indigenous Day “is no longer just on April 19. In Brazil today, everyday is the day to celebrate the spirit of struggle and wisdom of this brave Brazilian people, who are our indigenous brothers,” the president said.
Brazil’s indigenous population is estimated at about one million.
In his speech, Lula expressed his satisfaction with the peaceful situation in the reserve.
He said the government is restructuring the National Indian Foundation (Funai), a government body that establishes and carries out policies relating to indigenous people.
Located in the Amazon region on the border with Venezuela and Guyana, the reserve covers an area of 1.74 million hectares and has a population of approximately 20,000 Indians.
