HN comment order> He was buried in a traditional indigenous funeral at the same location where his body had been found in August. His burial place was desecrated by farmers shortly after, leading to renewed calls for permanent protection of the land where he and his people had dwelled. I just don’t understand such pettiness. It’s one of our worst traits.

Hope he survives through Bolsonaro government term. Currently the native peoples in Brazil are facing a lot of hardships, as illegal loggers and gold miners encroach around their lands, while government representatives either look the other way, or are just demoted/moved by politically compromised upper management if they dare to take any measures to ensure rule of law.
