Acampamento Terra Livre, or Free Land Camp, is the largest Indigenous mobilization in Brazil and 2024 marked its 20th year, as 9,000 Indigenous People from across Brazil – and the world – gathered in Brazil’s capital, Brasilia, to defend their rights and their lands. With more Indigenous representation in the Brazilian government than ever, some things have changed in twenty years, but the “Marco Temporal” law that could limit many Indigenous Peoples' rights to their lands loomed over the gathering. In this episode, hear many of the sounds, chants, music and voices from Acampamento Terra Livre 2024.

The fight for Indigenous rights in Brazil is a fight for everyone: for planet Earth, for the climate, for social justice. No matter where in the world you are, this fight is also for you.
