Morin about femicides of Canadian Indigenous women and girls and
of Indigenous children who were abducted from their parents houses and
brought to residential schoolsof which each word is so
heartbreaking that it takes a lot of courage to read the whole serial. Still I challenge you to do so! I divided it according to the

<<Dom Phillips and Bruno Pereira
Bruno Pereira: the dedicated defender of Indigenous rights missing in
Brazil. Indigenous expert last seen travelling with British journalist
Dom Phillips was ousted from official role after Bolsonaro took office.
There's an unwritten rule among Amazonian explorers that says the image
of a lone swashbuckler, pack on their back and machete in hand, is
something to be avoided at all costs. Bruno Pereira agreed 100%.
Pereira, 41, is the indigenous expert who disappeared on Sunday after
travelling into a remote corner of the Amazon jungle with the British
journalist Dom Phillips. The two men have not been seen since Sunday
morning. A former colleague of Pereira's at the government’s Indigenous
agency Funai described him as caring, dedicated – and totally committed
to the traditional peoples of the Amazon. <The Funai explorers don't
like to be called heroes,> said his friend, who spoke on condition of
anonymity.
<But there's no way to agree with that modesty. These people are heroes
and Bruno is one of them. Whether Bruno is alive or dead, his bravery
lives in every single person who has accompanied his case since he
disappeared. It’s there in every Brazilian who clamours for justice.>
Pereira was removed from his position as Funai's point man for
uncontacted tribes in what was seen as a politically motivated move soon
after far-right president Jair Bolsonaro came to power. His firing in
late 2019 came shortly after his team had helped make one of the biggest
illegal mines in the Amazon region inoperable. Bolsonaro wants
development at all costs and soon after he came to power progressives
like Pereira, who put Indigenous peoples' traditional ways ahead of the
loggers, hunters and miners who covet their land, were ousted from the
agency. Bolsonaro also slashed budgets and staff, <there was no more
gas, police protection, absolutely nothing left,> said Antenor Vaz, the
former Funai leader in the area where the pair are missing. <The
dismantling meant transferring committed people to other areas away from
the field and appointing people that had no connection with Indigenous
issues. An evangelical pastor came in to coordinate the work that Bruno
used to do.> The turmoil at Funai marked the end of Pereira's government
career and Pereira went on to work with the Observatory for the Human
Rights of Isolated and Recent Contact Indigenous Peoples (OPI), an
umbrella organisation of the 26 Indigenous groups in the Vale do Javari,
a remote area on Brazil’s western border with Peru.

Pereira’s work there has consisted in helping Indigenous communities
organise and monitor their land. The pristine forest area is targeted by
illegal hunters and fishers, miners and drug traffickers who covet its
natural resources. In addition to fundraising, the father of three has
also run workshops in communities under threat. Any invasions are
reported to Funai and law enforcement agencies in the hope they will
take action to rebuff the invaders. It is a job that has become more
difficult since Bolsonaro began weakening state funding and oversight.
<Indigenous organisations and their allies such as Bruno are doing what
Funai isn't able to do: defend isolated Indians,> said Maria Emilia
Coelho, a friend and colleague of Pereira's at OPI. <Bruno is a great
ally of the Indigenous movement and that is why he came to work with
these organisations.> Throughout his career Pereira has advocated a
policy of non-contact with isolated tribes, following in the footsteps
of celebrated anthropologists and explorers such as Orlando Villas Boas
and Sydney Possuelo.>>
