"April is the month of Camp Terra Livre (ATL). From the 24th to the 28th of
this month, thousands of indigenous people, from all regions of the country,
will be camped in Brasília to discuss the treatment given to their rights and
demands by the Executive, Legislative and Judiciary powers.
This will be the nineteenth edition of the ATL, which has already become a
tradition and a reference for democratic and participatory social mobilization.
Nothing to do with barracks doors. Apib, Articulação dos Povos Indígenas do
Brasil, which convenes and coordinates the ATL, has already started
negotiations with the GDF, the Government of the Federal District, to define
the location of the camp. The APIB always prefers the Esplanada dos Ministérios
lawn, but the GDF wants to transfer it to Granja do Torto, or another location
outside the Plano Piloto, citing the political trauma caused by the coup
predation of January 8. It is likely to end up being close to Funarte, behind
the Radio and TV Tower, the same location as last year and a middle ground
between expectations.
This will be the first edition of the ATL after the creation of the MPI, the
Ministry of Indigenous Peoples, promised by President Luís Inácio Lula da Silva
in the last ATL, still as a candidate. There is great anxiety with the
proximity of the mobilization and the indigenous communities and organizations
are already articulating delegations, buying beads and raising funds for the
trip and stay."
