“Indigenous Peoples, who want their territory demarcated for the protection of their own lives, automatically protect the life of humanity.” – Dinamam Tuxá (Tuxá People, Brazil) 

Brazil is home to an outsized portion of the world’s biodiversity. It is also one of the most dangerous places in the world for environmental defenders – but also a place guarded by hundreds of powerful Indigenous tribes.   

This week, thousands of Indigenous Peoples from across Brazil are gathered in the country's capital, Brasília, with bold hope for the future, and to share culture, celebrate, and demand their rights to their lands and to their cultural ways of being. This gathering is called Acampamento Terra Livre (ATL), or in English, Free Land Camp – and it's been happening for 20 years.   


To celebrate its twentieth anniversary, we're sending our Seedcast producers to Brasília, and today on Seedcast, we’re getting a preview of Acampamento Terra Livre with Dinamam Tuxá, of the Tuxá People. A lawyer and Indigenous social activist, Dinamam is a legal advisor to the Articulation of Indigenous Peoples and Organizations of the Northeast, Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo (APOINME), and the coordinator of the Articulation of the Indigenous Peoples of Brazil (APIB). APIB strengthens, unifies, and mobilizes Indigenous Peoples to promote and defend their rights. APIB also organizes Acampamento Terra Livre.   

Dinamam joins us in conversation with Ha’aheo Auwae-Dekker (Kanaka Maoli).  

Special thanks to Nia Tero colleagues Maria Fernanda Ribeiro, Nara Baré and Leslie Benzakein.   

Host: Ha’aheo Auwae-Dekker. Producer, Translation and Audio Mix: Marianna Romano. Additional Production: Jenny Asarnow, Idjahure Kadiwel

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
