Protect the lone Amazonian tribesman. He deserves to live in peace

By Fiona Watson

 

  I was standing on the edge of a patch of Amazon rainforest in Brazil. As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but monochrome; vast soy plantations and tamed pasture for cattle. I peered into that last oasis of Amazonian green; somewhere in there was a person, a survivor, who was living through the unimaginable.

  This man was the last of his tribe. He had survived the waves of genocidal attacks in the 1970s and 80s, as loggers and ranchers bulldozed their way through the forest denuding it of trees and life. These invaders murdered his entire family, his community, and neighbouring communities too. Fleeing the guns and hiding in the forest was his only survival strategy; to live out his remaining days totally on his own, hunting wild game and growing a few vegetables and fruits in his small garden.

  One of the few outsiders ever to set foot on his land, I was there in 2005 with Funai, the governmental protection agency for tribal peoples in Brazil. I was with their indigenous land protection team as part of my work for Survival International, the global movement for tribal peoples. I was not there to make contact with this man; I was there to help ensure the security of his territory and protect his right to live as he has chosen to. Survival International believes the choice whether or not to make contact with mainstream society must only be made by the people themselves; it is never up to others to decide for them.

WHAT IS LOST WHEN A MUSEUM VANISHES? IN BRAZIL, A NATION’S STORY

 

1 According to the deputy director at the museum, a 200-year-old Rio de Janeiro institution, the fire that

burned down much of the building two weeks ago may have consumed 90 percent of the collection.

3 That’s thousands, maybe millions, of objects — incomprehensible numbers.

4 It’s always easier to think in smaller terms, specific examples. The museum preserved documentation

of indigenous languages for which there are no longer any living native speakers. Every one of those

records apparently went up in smoke, taking with it a culture, a civilization, the story of a life, a chapter

of us.

8 Because that’s what museums like the National Museum ultimately do. They piece together the narrative

of who we are, where we come from, where we belong — in the universe, on this planet, as nations,

communities, individuals.

11 For generation after generation, the National Museum, a repository of science, art and history, has been

where parents passed down to their children what it means to be human and, more specifically, what it

means to be Brazilian.

14 It’s no wonder that the fire became an instant metaphor for the country’s decline. While it was still

burning, crowds gathered at the museum gates. Afterward, a group of students issued a call for any

photographs, videos, even selfies taken with the collection and in the exhibition spaces, to create a digital

archive, a kind of virtual bulwark against forgetfulness.
