Kayapo
Leaders of 26 Kayapo indigenous communities met from March 4-5 to discuss a multi-million dollar offer by government energy giant Eletrobras. This was their response:
“Your word means nothing. Our conversation is over. We Kayapo do not want another cent of your dirty money. We don’t accept Belo Monte or any other dam on the Xingu River. Our river is priceless; the fish we eat have no price, the happiness of our grandchildren has no price. We won’t stop fighting; in Altamira, in Brasilia, and in the Supreme court. The Xingu is our home and you are not welcome”
