Indigenous Youth on the Front Line defending the Amazon: Biomes, Strategies and Ancestry

Conversation with young indigenous leaders, from different Brazilian biomes, Amazon, Cerrado, Pantanal and Pampas, to present what has been done in Indigenous Lands to protect the environment, linked to traditional cultural practices teached by our elders. With this dialogue we intend to show the importance of the other regions linked to the Amazon and emphasize the need to make the arc of protection around it.. From the experience of each youth,, we will talk about the impacts of climate change in our territories, the genocide process that has been taking place in Brazil, the violence that our women and youth have been experiencing and how traditional knowledge has been an important tool to reclaim and to engagethem e in the struggle. Bringing the experience of both worlds to the collective construction of defense strategies for our territories. In addition to the conversation, we will have a prayer from one of the youth from the group and we will present a short video (3min) with our elders who stayed in the village guiding and protecting us through their singing and their ritual.
