In this video, the Munduruku present their strategies for resistance and defense of the Sawré Muybu Indigenous Land against invasions by illegal loggers, miners, hunters and land grabbers, which have become even more serious under the Bolsonaro government. The self-demarcation of Sawré Muybu is a pioneer in the autonomous action of land regularization in the face of the Brazilian State's refusal to demarcate indigenous lands, becoming a reference for other similar initiatives. Sawré Muybu covers 178 thousand hectares and has always been a known territory of the Munduruku people, who used to hunt and fish in this area. Located in southwestern Pará state, the territory extends to the mouth of the Jamanxim River and the Jamanxim National Forest. According to the chief Juarez Saw Munduruku, self-demarcation is a way to ensure the ancestral right of the Munduruku people over the territory that borders the Tapajós River, which today is threatened by several enterprises, "some of which have not yet left the paper, and others that are already installed in the region or are in the implementation phase."
