Articles Academic magazines Scholarly magazines Contemporary Review articles September 1999 Related articles The urge to demarcate the land of the Brazilian indigenous peoples and to give them property rights became one of the most pressing and vociferous campaigns of the last two decades. This campaign has won the support of corporates such as Body Shop, rock stars such as Sting, as well as of multilateral agencies such as the World Bank and the European Union. Although the campaign obtained an enormous success in raising public awareness about the indigenous peoples of Brazil and of the American continents, its success inside Brazil has been hindered by its bias against other Brazilians and by its failure in forming partnerships with the Brazilian government. Making amends for the past historical shortcomings that the Brazilian Indians endured is in itself a strong reason to justify the demarcation of their land. However, indigenous rights NGOs (Non-Government Organisations) have based their campaign on the allegation that only land demarcation will put an end to the 'massacres' of the Indians. According to the Oxford Dictionary, the word 'massacre' means slaughter, carnage or murder in a general fashion. Indians have died in land conflicts in the Amazon, and some individuals have even been murdered, but it is unfair to call such events 'massacres'.

These visions are not simply indigenous responses to global mainstream debates over post-industrial development or techno-scientific culture, etc. More importantly, they articulate the actual deployment of new media and information communications technologies (ICTs) by indigenous communities to forward their own policies and practices. They frame how indigenous communities are mobilizing over the internet and on the Web to communicate their lived experiences and extend their local networks to global audiences, including and especially, a global indigenous audience. For academics in the field, online indigenous communities are opening up spaces of inquiry beyond the digital divide by actively co-creating virtual communities and transforming their cultural experience through ICTs (i.e., real life in cyberspace). Questions about resources, knowledge/power and access continue to be important, but they have become more complicated by issues of networking and social life, virtual reproduction, and information policy. These new social, political, and cultural forms of indigeneity will be discussed within this section.

Extractions: Capoeira (pronounced ka-poo-eyh-da) is an Afro-Brazilian martial art self-defense form that incorporates acrobatics, dance, percussion, and songs in a rhythmic dialogue of body, mind, and spirit. It is a communal game in which two opponents play each other inside a circle, formed by the other players who create rhythm for the game by clapping, singing and playing traditional instruments. The two opponents compete with each other using capoeira movements, camouflaging the self defense kicks and moves with playful acrobatics and dance-like moves spontaneously creating strategy to fool their opponent and catch them off guard. Capoeira developed as a result of over three hundred years of slavery in Brazil. Enslaved Africans were taken by Portuguese colonists from various cultures in Africa. In Brazil, generations of enslaved African people shared the cultural customs, dances, rituals, and fighting techniques that would combine to become capoeira. Slaves used capoeira to fight to escape and resist capture, but concealed its combative purpose through music, song, and dance. After the abolition of slavery in Brazil in 1888, capoeira was illegal and its practitioners were socially ostracized for over forty years. The legendary Capoeira “Mestre,” or Master, Mestre Bimba rescued the art form and proved its legitimacy, opening capoeira's first official school in Bahia, Brazil in 1932. Capoeira was born as an expression of resistance and resilience, and brought spiritual and emotional empowerment. The cultures of enslaved Africans, Brazilian indigenous peoples, and Portuguese immigrants all contributed to the art of capoeira, and the art form is a reflection of the cultural and social integration of the diverse peoples comprising modern-day Brazil. Capoeira has developed into a means of empowerment and a forum for social and cultural exchange. It is now an internationally respected art of grace and strength that combines ritual, self-defense, acrobatics, and music in a rhythmic dialogue of the body, mind, and spirit.
Brazilian Indians Ask World Bank To Suspend Funds From G7 (Brasilia, February 6, 1996) The Unity Council of Brazilian Indigenous Peoples and Organizations (CAPOIB) has asked the World Bank to suspend funds for all projects for demarcation http://www.hartford-hwp.com/archives/41/058.html
Extractions: Documents menu (Brasilia, February 6, 1996) The Unity Council of Brazilian Indigenous Peoples and Organizations (CAPOIB) has asked the World Bank to suspend funds for all projects for demarcation of Indian lands in Brazil, including the Indigenous Lands, Planafloro, and Prodeagro projects. In the letter they say that all signs point to the total and complete inviability of carrying out any plan or project to regularize and demarcate indigenous lands in a way which meets the real needs of indigenous peoples, given the current indigenous policy (of the Brazilian government), which is based upon the recent decree 1776/96. CAPOIB cited a consistent policy of the Cardoso presidency to satiate special interests intent upon seizing indigenous lands. They also say the decree has emboldened invaders of Indian lands, including gold miners in the area of the Munduruku Indians, and ranchers on Macuxi Indian territory. CAPOIB syas that there are now legal obstacles which subvert the demarcation process to political pressures, open up claims for compensation to Brazilian states and local governments, and create the real possibility that indigenous territories, if demarcated at all, will be sharply reduced under pressure from local interests.

Spanish planters purchased slaves from Africa to work their land. Black Puerto Ricans intermarried extensively with European and indigenous persons, so modern Puerto Rico does not recognize such distinct racial divisions as in the continental United States , but today there remains a rich black culture in Puerto Rico.

Extractions: He was assassinated in May 1998. Amnesty International takes no side in disputes over land. What concerns the organization is the persistent failure of successive governments to protect the fundamental human rights of Brazil's Indigenous peoples. By failing to arbitrate promptly in disputes between the indigenous and non-indigenous community the state has left indigenous groups ever more vulnerable faced with escalating violence against them. The authorities at all levels have failed to protect the Indians effectively or to bring to justice those responsible for killing, abducting, harassing and threatening them. As a result, human rights abuses continue with impunity. In theory, there is extensive scope to protect Brazil's Indians from human rights abuse. International experts regard provisions in Brazil's 1988 Constitution, recognizing indigenous social and cultural traditions and upholding Indian land rights, to be among the most advanced in the world. Indians are given special protection in law. In recognition of the likely hostility between local economic interests and indigenous interests the implementation of indigenous policy has traditionally been a federal responsibility. All litigation arising from matters of ownership of indigenous areas falls within the competence of federal courts.
