His mission, he tayt, it lo inform United States citiens, espe cially Native Americans, of the plight facing the indigenous peo ples of Brazil. "The indigenous people are being marginalized and they are completely isolated with out any support, says Makuxi, who recently visited Warm Springs. "The government is trying to take away our lands there is a lot of pressure from politicians, ranchers and loggers" to do just that, he says. Makuxi spoke through an interpreter, Kathy Shields. An ongoing military project, the Calhe Norte, puts in jeopardy the lives and cultures of those tribes living in the gold-and diamond- . rich 150-kiIomcter-wide strip bdri dcring Brazil and neighboring coun tries. "The military wants to divide up the lands into colonies' that 1 would be used for national forests 1 and mining purposes, says Makuxi. x I hey want to destroy our culture I and our lives." With this project, he says, the military is attempting to "nav off their foreien debt thev're going to kill us all to pay off the 1 debt." Proposed hydroelectric pro- i jeets would flood the lands cur rently occupied by indigenous peo ple so they would have to leave the area. Resistance, however logical and just it may be, is answered with violence. Makuxi relates that sev eral people, including women and children, have been killed in con frontations with loggers, miners and the military. He says 19 leaders of the Makuxi tribe have been imprisoned by the military, police and civil patrol. "I have been marked out by the police and politicians," says Makuxi, showing scars on his chest and legs that are results of three separate attempts on his life. Makuxi said Wednesday that his nine-year-old daughter, Josilania, suffered serious head injuries in an unprovoked attack last week when someone broke into their home. "The ranchers are killing people and they have the support of the government and police and we don't have the support of anybody." " '0 1 f. ; (- 1 r Cilberto Makuxi was In Warm Springs recently to tell 0 the plight 0 Brazilian Indians. Makuxi says that the people can't fish and hunt "because we know the ranchers and police are the re.. .all they want to do is divide up the land as quickly as they can." Makuxi named one of his sons Jeronimo because of his deep con cern for the survival of his people. "I was thinking about our problem and the survival of my peoplc.think ing I might be killed. At that same time, my son was born." He had seen a book about Jeronimo and it was explained to him that Jero nimo struggled for the survival of his people. "If they kill me, my son can continue on with my work. I've drawn plans so that all my children can know what it is I want to do and how they need to work for form the Alliance of Indigicnous People with the people of the Uni ted States, the people of Austrialia and Peru and with all the nations. I gave my son this name so that he would have the strength to con tinue the struggle...I made these plans because it is a just strug gle.. .all peoples of the world need to make a commitment to defend indigenous people, not just defend ourselves but all brothers and sis ters who are faced with problems." Makuxi was brought to the Uni ted States by Kluckhohn and the Lummi tribe. The Kluckhohn orga nization studies groups in conflict and is based in Seattle. Makuxi will be in the United States for a month, possibly two, and has so far met with the Nisqually and Yaki mas tribes, CERT and other Indian organizations. The purpose of Makuxi's visit is two-fold; to increase awareness among Native Americans and to ensure that the natives of Brazil receive fair treatment.
