Áurea Anacé is a leader and representative of AMICE (Articulação das mulheres indígenas do Ceará – articulation of indigenous women from Ceará). Her general struggle is for Tamarin (mother earth) and indigenous rights, but she also struggles for their territory’s Cauípe, the fresh water lagoon that is part of her people’s territory and is threatened by industries and real estate.
Angohó Pataxó is part of the village Naô Xohã (state of Minas Gerais), from the indigenous group Pataxó Hã-Hã-Hãe. This group suffered a major blow because of the burst of the Brumadinho dam. Angohó has been a very active member of her community in denouncing the environmental and social crimes from the mining company Vale, which the indigenous group had been trying to hold accountable for the impacts.
The conference will be translated to and from protuguese, english and french
