This Friday (28), the federal government will formalize the approval of six indigenous lands in six states of the country with around 3,700 inhabitants. The act will take place during the closing of Camp Terra Livre 2023, held in a square in Brasília.

R$ 12.3 million will also be released to the National Foundation for Indigenous Peoples (Funai) and two decrees will be signed that recreate the National Council for Indigenous Policy (CNPI) and establish the Steering Committee of the National Policy for Territorial and Environmental Management of Indigenous Lands ( PNGATI).

The new indigenous areas are located in Acre (TI Arara do Rio Amônia), Alagoas (TI Kariri-Xocó), Rio Grande do Sul (TI Rio dos Índios), Ceará (TI Tremembé da Barra do Mundaú), Amazonas (TI Uneiuxi) and Goiás (Avá-Canoeiro TI).

The ceremony is scheduled for 10 am with the presence of representatives of the peoples, Minister Sonia Guajajara (Indigenous Peoples) and President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT).
