I recently read an article about the death of a man named Rieli Franciscato. From what I read, he was an expert on Amazonian tribes and dedicated his life to preserving the indigenous customs of the Amazonian tribes. Fought against the injustices that are committed against the most defenseless inhabitants of these lands. He dedicated his life to fighting the most evil humans with ambitions for riches and increasingly depopulating the tribes.
The Brazilian Amazon is in continuity with the Venezuelan Amazon. They are continually threatened, the devastation caused by the repeated fires that have occurred in these jungles have made people like this expert, together with a team under his command, look for a way to help those dispossessed of their lands, to achieve the well-being and self-sustainability of indigenous peoples...
It should be noted that the Amazon is our great lung. Our climate, our water, our vast majority of flora and fauna depend on it, and human beings have been destroying that gift from God.
In these expanses of forests there are many tribes who do not want the passage of man. They only communicate between tribes. These have remained virgins throughout their existence to avoid human contact.
If these tribes want to remain without contact with the rest of the world, they do not want to have and have never had contact with civilized man. Do they keep seeing the fires and the displacements to which they are continually forced. Why exceed their limits?
The irony of life is that this man who just died did not do so naturally, he died by a poisoned arrow from one of these tribes that do not allow the passage of man.
These tribes post notices on their boundaries warning they don't want strangers. And although the goodwill of some people to help ethnic groups prevails, there is also the suspicion of indigenous people against man, who have a history of destruction and desolation in their lands. They transmit it in their languages from generation to generation and we are and will be their enemies. Until proven otherwise...
I think a couple of weeks ago, there was a documentary I saw that showed how those who lived in Amazon were able to prevent Covid-19 by preventing strangers from entering their village. I hope they can continue to preserve their legacy for a long time.
