Thousands of Indigenous people marched in Brazil’s capital on Tuesday to protest what they say are violations of their land rights by large corporations advancing farming, logging and mining projects.
Indigenous leaders also sought to apply pressure on President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who has supported Indigenous rights and environmental stewardship in Latin America's largest nation while also pushing oil and other projects that appear to go against those aims. The leftist leader is expected to run for reelection in October.
