                        The last member of an Indigenous tribe in Brazil has 
tragically died, shining light on decades of genocide by colonists and the 
Brazilian government. The man, who was nicknamed the 'Man of the Hole,' 
survived for decades in isolation, remarkably evading contact and protecting 
himself from growing threats to tribal lands in the country. With his death 
comes the total loss of a language and culture. Very little is known about 
this man or his life, but human rights organizations believe that the rest 
of his tribe was brutally massacred in attacks by gunmen decades ago. In the 
1970s, colonists and ranchers hired gangs of gunmen to literally slaughter 
the Indigenous people who stood in the way of extraction, ranching, and 
other forms of Amazon land "development."



                        Currently, tribes hold a few reserves that the Land 
Protection Orders has preserved. But Bolsonaro's presidency has been rife 
with human rights abuses against Indigenous people. In fact, some Indigenous 
leaders called for courts to try the right-wing president for crimes against 
humanity. A recent investigation even showed that illegal airstrips are 
operating throughout the Amazon rainforest, allowing toxic mining to 
infiltrate dozens of Indigenous territories and one of the most important 
ecosystems in the world. Clearly, the country needs strong, permanent land 
preservation to respect tribal sovereignty and Indigenous rights. Sign the 
petition to demand that the Brazilian government create lasting land 
protections for all Indigenous people!




                 Thank you,

                        P.S. Many tribes in the Amazon rainforest have spent 
generations resisting habitat destruction. The Brazilian government must 
protect them and their lands. Sign the petition.
