 Brazil - Brasil - BRAZZIL - News from Brazil - Sivam and the Indigenous Peoples of Brazil - Brazilian Indians - March 2003
The principal representative organizations of the indigenous peoples in the regions to be affected by the proposal are worried and have indicated their opposition to the division of Amazonas state.
Since the project was announced, in the early 1990s, the Conselho Indigenista Missionário (Missionary Indigenist Council, a branch of Brazil's National Conference of Catholic Bishops) also known as Cimi, has expressed concern that, besides issues related to corruption, Sivam could negatively affect the rights and interest of the indigenous peoples and riverbank populations of Amazônia.
If the proposal is approved, the indigenous peoples will suffer the greatest impact as a result of increased migration to the region and because, once again, they are accused of being obstacles to "development," and political opportunities will be sought that may cause the permanent loss of their lands.
