Between 8 Nov 2021 and July 2022 AL Jazeera published a serial of
articles (except one i.e. an Al Jazeera team)
all by the Cree-Iroquois Canadian-French journalist Brandi
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

<<Amazon activists mourn death of 'man of the
hole', last of his tribe.
An unidentified and charismatic Indigenous man thought to have been the
last of his tribe has died in the Brazilian Amazon, causing
consternation among activists lamenting the loss of another ethnic
language and culture. The solitary and mysterious man was known only as
the Índio do Buraco, or the <Indigenous man of the hole>, because he
spent much of his existence hiding or sheltering in pits he dug in the
ground. Over a period of decades, during which his land was attacked and
friends and family were killed, he resisted all attempts to contact him,
laying traps and shooting arrows at anyone who came too close. <Having
endured atrocious massacres and land invasions, rejecting contact with
outsiders was his best chance of survival,> said Sarah Shenker, a
campaigner at Survival Interna-tional, the global movement for tribal
peoples. <He was the last of his tribe, and so that is one more tribe
made extinct – not dis-appeared, as some people say, it’s much more
active and genocidal a process than disappearing.> Officials know very
little about the man, but his determined independence and evident solace
helped create a mystique around him that captured the attention of
activists and media across Brazil and around the world. <He didn't trust
anyone because he had many traumatising experiences with non-Indigenous
people,> said Marcelo dos Santos, a retired explorer who monitored his
wellbeing for Funai, Brazil's national Indigenous foundation. Dos Santos
said he and other Funai officials left strategically placed gifts of
tools, seeds and food but were always rebuffed. They believe that
sometime in the 1980s, illegal ranchers, after leaving initial offerings
of sugar, gave the tribe rat poison that killed all bar the <man of the
hole>. A Funai official who monitored the man's wellbeing from a
distance found his body lying in a ham-mock in a state of decomposition.
Because he had placed brightly coloured feathers around his body, the
official believes the man had prepared for death. He estimated the man
was about 60 years old.
Indigenous organisations put the number of remaining tribes at between
235 and 300, but an exact figure is hard to determine because some
tribes have had very little contact with settler society.
At least 30 groups are believed to be living deep in the jungle and next
to nothing is known about their numbers, their language or culture.
<Because he resolutely resisted any attempts at contact, he died without
revealing which ethnicity he belonged to, nor the motivations of the
holes he dug inside his house,> the Observatory for the Human Rights of
Isolated and Recent Contact Indigenous Peoples (OPI) wrote on learning
of the man's death. <[He] clearly expressed his option for distancing
himself without ever saying a single word that would allow his
identification with some known Indigenous language.> >>
