Hundreds of indigenous people danced and chanted outside Brazil's Supreme Court on Wednesday to urge the justices not to rule in favor of a cut-off date of 1988 for their land claims, a proposal backed by the farming sector.
The protest has drawn an unprecedented 6,000 indigenous people from 176 tribes to camp out in the Brazilian capital to press the court to reject the timeframe, organizers said.
"The Bolsonaro government wants to do away with us. If it was up to him there would be no indigenous people left in Brazil," said Xukuru chieftain Ricardo from northeast Brazil. He wore a long headdress of blue macaw feathers and held a maraca. The ruling will affect 230 pending land claims, many of which offer a bulwark against deforestation in the Amazon rainforest. Most have been awaiting recognition for decades.
