Indigenous people in Brazil seek out cities, end
up in slums
RIO DE JANEIRO — The dancers shake seed-filled maracas
and raise their voices in song, conjuring an ancient spirit that
vibrates above the traffic roaring from a nearby expressway
and the beat of funk music blasting from a neighbor's
loudspeaker.
In this Brazilian favela, the indigenous people are struggling
to keep some of their traditions alive that, besides providing a
sense of community, helps them endure the discrimination
they face in the city. Forced out of their native lands by
deforestation, miners and farmers, nearly one in four Brazilian
Indians nowadays live in urban areas and an estimated
22,000 of them now call the crowded favelas their home.
Life in the slums, despite its difficulties, has its advantages.
“The slums are the one place in the city where you have the
kind of solidarity we Indians have in the villages." said a
Pataxó woman who lives in Rio de Janeiro's Maré Complex.
