A New Era for Brazil's Indigenous Nations: Imagining the Future to Remedy the Present

Join us for a discussion of the future of Indigenous Nations in Brazil, following years of neglect and hostility by Jair Bolsonaro's administration. Yanomami leaders, legal experts and a high-level government official have come from Brazil to hold this debate.

This is one of three panels hosted by the Earth Rights Advocacy Clinic at NYU School of Law on March 27-28. They will discuss the rights of Indigenous peoples in Brazil, state responsibilities to guarantee these rights, and public policies for reparations and the protection of these communities in their territories. 

The other two panels are:
Conversation with Author: Banzeiro Ökötó, the Amazon as the center of the world
March 27, 12:30-2:00 p.m. in the Lester Pollack Colloquium Room in Furman Hall

Genocide and State Responsibility: The Struggle of the Yanomami Nation 
March 27, 5:30-7:30 p.m. at Room 216 in Furman Hall
