The Forum for the Defense of Indigenous Rights \/ Articula\u00e7\u00e3o dos Povos e Organiza\u00e7\u00f5es Ind\u00edgenas do Nordeste, Minas Gerais e Esp\u00edrito Santo APOINME, is created, July 05, 2004<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Comprised of the Coordena\u00e7\u00e3o das Organiza\u00e7\u00f5es Ind\u00edgenas da Amaz\u00f4nia Brasileira \u2013 Coordination of the Indigenous Organizations of the Brazilian Amazonia \u2013 (Coiab), the Associa\u00e7\u00e3o Brasileira de Antropologia \u2013 Brazilian Anthropology Association \u2013 (ABA), the Comiss\u00e3o Pr\u00f3-Yanomami \u2013 Pro-Yanomami Commission \u2013 (CCPY), the Centro de Trabalho Indigenista \u2013 Center of Indigenist Work \u2013 (CTI), the Conselho Indigenista Mission\u00e1rio \u2013 Missionary Indigenist Council \u2013 (Cimi) and the Instituto Socioambiental (ISA), the forum was launched last week with the intention of combating the Administration\u2019s inertia.<\/p>\n

The F\u00f3rum de Defesa dos Direitos Ind\u00edgenas \/ F\u00f3rum for the Defense of Indigenous Rights \u2013 was defined as a space of persistence and resistance in the defense of the indigenous rights by the Federal Prosecutor of the Republic, Cl\u00e1udio Fonteles.<\/p>\n

He, along with the Assistant Federal Prosecutor of the Republic and coordinator of the Federal Prosecutor\u2019s Office\u2019s 6th Chamber of Coordination and Revision of Indigenous Communities and Minorities, D\u00e9bora Duprat, and federal Representative Eduardo Valverde (Worker\u2019s Party\/Rond\u00f4nia), of the Frente Parlamentar em Defesa dos Direitos Ind\u00edgenas \u2013 Parliamentary Front for the Defense of Indigenous Rights \u2013, was part of the opening board of the event in which was launched the most recent initiative of indigenous and indigenist organizations for the defense of the rights of the indigenous peoples, which was held last Wednesday (June 23) at the Federal Prosecutor\u2019s Office, in Bras\u00edlia.<\/p>\n

D\u00e9bora Duprat, one of the forum\u2019s main stimulators, defined it as a space where the Indians may recover for themselves the role the Constitution grants them. She appointed indigenous health and mining within Indigenous Lands as the topics that should be chosen as the group\u2019s most immediate concerns. And indeed they were, along with the demarcation of Indigenous Lands. The Coordena\u00e7\u00e3o das Organiza\u00e7\u00f5es Ind\u00edgenas da Amaz\u00f4nia Brasileira \u2013 Coordination of the Indigenous Organizations of the Brazilian Amazonia \u2013 (Coiab) is in charge of the forum\u2019s Executive Secretariat.<\/p>\n

\u201cISA\u2019s expectation regarding the F\u00f3rum is that it will open a consistent channel for a dialogue with the current Administration, which, after a year and a half, still does not have an Indian policy\u201d, pointed out M\u00e1rcio Santilli, of the Instituto Socioambiental\u2019s Board of Directors. In Santilli\u2019s view, the present moment is one of a reactionary movement on the part of the ruling classes, which includes efforts to block indigenous rights, to restrict the power of the Federal Prosecutor\u2019s Office and to criminalize the Movimento dos Sem Terra \u2013 Movement of the Landless Peasants \u2013 (MST) and the non-governmental organizations (NGOs).<\/p>\n

Regarding the Indigenous Lands, J\u00falio Macuxi, of the Conselho Ind\u00edgena de Roraima \u2013 Roraima Indigenous Council \u2013 (CIR), considers that the situation of the Raposa Serra do Sol Indigenous Land, in the State of Roraima, which has been ready for ratification since the beginning of the current Administration\u2019s term and whose postponement has made possible several initiatives for the chopping up of the area, mirrors the lack of commitment on the part of the Executive, the Legislative and the Judiciary towards Indians. The defense of the ratification of the Raposa Serra do Sol Indigenous Lands in a continuous area was, by the way, one of the three motions approved in the 24th Meeting of the Brazilian Association of Anthropology, held between June 12 and 15 in Recife, which were read during the event by ABA\u2019s president, Gustavo Lins Ribeiro.<\/p>\n

Gilberto Azanha, director of the Centro de Trabalho Indigenista \u2013 Center of Indigenist Work \u2013 (CTI), said that his expectation regarding the forum is to get President Luiz In\u00e1cio Lula da Silva\u2019s commitment to the inviolability of the Indigenous Lands and to the alteration of the Administration\u2019s Indian policy.<\/p>\n

Davi Yanomami, on the other hand, expressed his displeasure and concern with the way the President has been conducting the question of the exploration of natural resources within Indigenous Lands by non-Indians and denounced the existence of 520 mining concerns ready to enter Yanomami land. \u201cIndigenous rights are our rights, not only the Indians\u2019. Ensuring those rights helps to build a Brazil for all\u201d, declared Archbishop Luciano Mendes de Almeida, of the Conselho Mission\u00e1rio Indigenista \u2013 Missionary Indigenist Council \u2013 (Cimi).<\/p>\n

Also took part in the event Bishop Tom\u00e1s Balduino, of the Comiss\u00e3o Pastoral da Terra \u2013 Land Pastoral Commission \u2013 (CPT); Jecinaldo Cabral, Coiab\u2019s general coordinator; Agnaldo Patax\u00f3 H\u00e3-h\u00e3-h\u00e3e, representative of the Articula\u00e7\u00e3o dos Povos Ind\u00edgenas do Nordeste, Minas Gerais e Esp\u00edrito Santo \u2013 Articulation of the Indigenous Peoples of the Northeast, Minas Gerais and Esp\u00edrito Santo \u2013 (Apoinme); and J\u00f4 Oliveira, of the Comiss\u00e3o Pr\u00f3-Yanomami \u2013 Pro-Yanomami Commission, among others.
