Caatinga food forests: Indigenous farming in João Câmara

About associação indígena do marajó

Here is your text translated into natural English: We are a non-profit Indigenous association located in the Marajó Indigenous community, which is also a land reform settlement. It was a land occupation supported by the MST, and since then we have been fighting for public policies to ensure the rights of our Indigenous Potiguara people in areas such as agriculture, handicrafts, health, and culture. We have been working for about nine years to guarantee our people’s rights. It has been a struggle, especially because our land has not yet been officially demarcated. However, we are grateful that the technical group for land demarcation has already been established, which makes us very happy. Even though we live in a settlement area, it is land that was originally ours and was reclaimed through struggle, with the support of the MST and the Indigenous population of Rio Grande do Norte. It was the first settlement in the state of Rio Grande do Norte.
