“We cannot let the colonizers get rid of us”

The uncontacted Ãwa Indigenous people of the "Papaya Forest" on Brazil's Bananal Island are surrounded by danger. In this video, Kamutaja Ãwa, a relative of the uncontacted Ãwa, outlines the tragedy that followed forced contact with her family, and asks for the rights of her uncontacted relatives to be respected.

Tribal Voice is a project by Survival International, the global movement for tribal peoples. More than one hundred and fifty million people in over sixty countries live in tribal societies.

From the Amazon to the Kalahari, from the jungles of India to the Congo rainforest, Tribal Voice gives them a platform. They experience appalling racism and genocidal violence. Their lands and resources are stolen for profit. Their ways of life are being deliberately and systematically destroyed.

Here they speak out about what matters to them; watch, listen, and get involved: svlint.org/TribalVoice
