Indigenous Rights and Environmental Impact

The video explores the challenges faced by indigenous groups in Brazil, particularly the Carajás, due to agricultural expansion and political changes. It covers the historical context of Brazil's modernization, the transition to democracy, and the establishment of indigenous land rights.
