Tribunal de Justiça do Maranhão nega recurso da mineradora Vale contra o Cimi

No dia 7 de janeiro, o Tribunal de Justiça do Maranhão (TJMA) negou um recurso da mineradora Vale S.A. contra a decisão da juíza Kátia Coelho de Sousa Dias, que indeferiu os pedidos da mineradora contra o Conselho Indigenista Missionário (Cimi) Regional Maranhão e as missionárias Madalena Borges e Rosana Diniz. A Vale solicitou que as missionárias cessassem com a interferência no relacionamento da empresa com os indígenas, especialmente no que diz respeito à ocupação da Estrada de Ferro Carajás pelos indígenas do povo Awá Guajá. A mineradora acredita que o Cimi está tutelando os indígenas, interferindo na relação entre a Vale e os indígenas.

No entanto, tanto a juíza Kátia Coelho quanto o TJMA não identificaram elementos suficientes que confirmem a conduta apontada pela mineradora. As missionárias Madalena Borges e Rosana Diniz criticaram a tentativa da Vale de criminalizar o movimento dos Awá e a insistência da empresa em atribuir ao Cimi a responsabilidade pela interdição da Estrada de Ferro Carajás. Elas afirmam que o movimento dos Awá foi legítimo e que os indígenas têm autonomia para realizar manifestações em favor de seus direitos.

Capítulo XXXII [fragmento]

La luna, en sus primeras horas de menguante, suspendida en un cielo sin nubes, derramaba su plateada luz, que si no da calor ni hiere la pupila como los rayos solares, empapa la Naturaleza de una melancolía dulce y serena, y brinda atmósfera tibia y olorosa en esas noches de diciembre, credas para los coloquios de amor.

Hiya Jo, sorry to come to you for this, but your post on Maya Knuckles was so cool I had to ask. You seem good at researching stuff, do you have any tips on looking for sources on specific groups of people? I've been struggling on finding good resources on indigenous groups from brasil... (I'm brazilian myself but i dont know where to start)

I wouldn't say I'm good at research, as I think I'm more insanely curious and just lucky LOL. A lot of times when I try to search for specific things I try absolutely everything until I stumble on whatever I was looking for!

But usually I start with a quick basic skim-read on whatever google gives you when you look up whatever your looking for. Most often then not it'll probably give a wikipedia page, some related news articles and some unsourced pages. A lot of times I won't use any of these, but it's a good way to get a feel for what you'll need to keep an eye for.

What I mean is that sometimes just looking for the main subject of the research wont actually give you what you're looking for. For example, when I was looking for Mayan stuff, it kept giving me Inca and Aztec info, which is cool, but wasn't what i was looking for. But since these 3 were usually grouped together, looking for Inca and Aztec books/resources actually helped me a bunch into finding what I was looking for, and more! So keep an eye out on how the subject you're looking for is COMMONLY described, what's usually associated to it, what people talk about the subject etc.

Then you can go actually searching for thing now, I recommend using DuckDuckGo! And always check if they got a source. Plenty of articles will say things that they've seen on other articles, which maybe are true! but then you always run the risk of getting incorrect facts. So always check, if it's not sourced, run another search with the info and see if another article has a source.

When you do find an article/book with a source THEN you can fall down the rabbit hole! No joke one sourced article can lead you to 5 sources, which most probably also have sources. So from there it's pretty easy to search up on references.

If you run into a dead end and still hasn't found what you're looking for I recommend checking what the wikipedia page is citing as sources. You might not be able to access everything there, but some links should be able to redirect you to somethings.

In terms of paywalled scientific articles, disabling javascript usually works (right click on the page -> inspect element -> find the gear on the top right of the window it just showed up -> scroll down until you see a checkbox saying "disable Javascript" -> and refresh page). But if that doesn't work, Sci-Hub is fucking amazing. Just put down your ref or DOI and voilá!

For books I recommend checking the Internet Archive! They usually have what you're looking for, but also half of the time you can just type "Book name PFD" and it'll usually come up after a few search pages. Just make sure you know how to download stuff without getting a virus in you PC.

Reverse image search can also be pretty useful if you find an image related to the subject, since you can link up to other articles/blogs.

If you're STILL running in dead ends, switching up languages can help (probably not your case since your brazilian and most likely already searching in portuguese but yknow). Google translate extensions can really help looking into pages with languages you don't know! It's not perfect but it might help you get a gist of it.

And lastly if you want to know more about Indigenous people from Brazil, I got a couple of reccomendations (most in portuguese btw)!

Centro de Referência Virtual Indígena

Probably the BIGGEST resource on historical and political information on Indigenous groups. It hosts around 2,3 million documents ranging from bills passed, to personal diary entries. (aaaaand can link up to a lot of other cool resources)

Observatórios dos Direitos e Políticas Indigenistas

Translated from their website: OBIND aims to obtain and systematize quantitative and qualitative data on territorialization processes, territorial management, interethnic conflicts, human rights and quality of life of indigenous peoples and populations in reserved areas or in urban contexts, in order to enable visibility, comparability, evaluation and guidance for indigenous policies and promotion of their rights, notably those pertinent to respect for their uses, customs and traditions and the exclusive enjoyment of the lands they traditionally occupy, recognizing for this the sine qua non condition of promoting indigenous autonomy and overcoming guardianship as assimilationist legacy.

GENOCÍDIO INDÍGENA E POLÍTICAS INTEGRACIONISTAS: demarcando a escrita no campo da memória

Book titled: INDIGENOUS GENOCIDE AND INTEGRATIONIST POLICIES: demarcating writing in the field of memory

[courtana]

I’m mostly typing this for myself to help process and organize my thoughts but… feel free to read if you want, especially if you have been annoyed lately too.

I’m cutting my ties with Call of Duty as a fan of the games.

Prepare for my unsolicited thoughts under the cut:

This game has always had shady politics and racial discourses. This is known, lol. It has always depicted Arabs, Eastern Europeans, and Latin Americans as caricatures, even if sometimes they sometimes succeeded in portraying their countries as being the victims of European and U.S. imperialism. But in light of the rapid intensification of violence toward Palestinians with the genocide in Gaza, this tendency just leaves a worse taste in my mouth. While the gameplay and plot structure for the new BO game next year will probably be better than MWIII, I have low hopes with how they’ll portray the goddamn Gulf War. The fact they've added an Israeli operator called "Doc" to MWIII in this particular moment in history tells me all I have to know about where Activision stands as a company.

Furthermore, the last Modern Warfare campaign was so bad, it just signaled to me once and for all that Activision does not care about the future of their games or the legacy of any of their previous good games. I’ve mostly been playing Zombies, not even traditional MP / Warzone. But even then, it’s easy for me to get burnt out playing Zombies. And Zombies is not worth the 100 dollars I paid thinking the campaign would be more enjoyable. And season’s 1 battle pass that came with the 100-dollar edition of the game is awful in my opinion.

Not to mention, the voice actors of both the Modern Warfare and Black Ops series have been either totally racist or highly indifferent about the genocide in Gaza. First, Barry Sloane's tone-deaf Beatles post about "peace" he posted on October that he quickly deleted was more insensitive than I think he even realizes. Samuel Roukin liking a racist article that equates calls decolonization as a "false narrative" was despicable. Of course, that article targets Palestine specifically in its racism, but it also indirectly charges all Third World countries with its accusation of their independence and claims to sovereignty as being "a false narrative." As someone who is of both Latin American and Asian descent and whose countries of origins had to fight for independence more than twice (!!), I cannot accept that.

Then Claudia—a woman of Lebanese descent—and Elliot—a queer black man—encouraging and offering condolences to an ex-IOF soldier was downright evil. The IOF actively bombs Lebanon as part of their current genocidal campaign. It has waged brutal wars against the Lebanese people in the 1980s & 2000s [x] [x]. And it has carried out both anti-Black violence [x] and sexual violence—including against Palestinian men and women [x] [x], and it engages in its frequently-exposed pinkwashing [x]. Rather than allying with Lebanese, queer, and Black people who have been victims of Israeli/Zionist violence, Claudia & Elliot as people with major platforms instead are disappointingly choosing to legitimize Zionist propaganda.

I don't know a lot about Julian, Warren, Neil or Alain's stances on this genocide, but I never take silence in the face of genocide or war to be a good sign. Lastly, since Oct 7, María Elisa Camargo (more like caga'o) posted her support for Israel, equating Palestinian existence and resistance with "terrorism." I already did not like her for engaging in indigenista discourses and tropes and for seemingly being very nonchalant about playing the role of a narco-terrorist, trying to girl-bossify a very real source of fear & terror to contemporary Latin American and Mexican people's lives. This was not surprising for her, but it's still worth highlighting.

In terms of Black Ops actors, the former actor for Frank Woods also made incredibly shitty comments in a live stream about the genocide, talking about a so-called "Middle Eastern mentality," (essentializing all Middle Easterners, really), practically equating all Palestinians with Hamas, and roughly stating that people keep on going further back in history to justify their acts of violence—and I'm sure he was not just referring to Israelis weaponizing the Holocaust to commit atrocities against Palestinians. Like many other people, he gives the impression that he dismisses Palestinians and Arabs as incapable of producing a coherent political thought, and that they only resort to violence out of instinct or because of their religion (which is a gross idea—Islam is not a religion of violence at all!)

Again, I didn't have much expectations for Call of Duty to be anti-Zionist, let's be real. But I see these actors as creatives whose literal jobs are to empathize with other people's stories and experiences as part of their work. The fact that they're trained to put themselves in another person's shoes but are incapable of putting themselves in the shoes of Palestinian people right now, when nearly 20,000 have been recorded as killed—and many more injured or displaced—is very telling.

Anyone who knows this blog knows I have formed a lot of beef with other COD blogs for stuff like fanfic tropes, sexual politics, and about the idea of watching playthroughs vs. playing the game. For once, I'm actually relieved and oddly glad most of this fandom has rallied around the idea that Palestine is not the villain, and that we almost all understand that what Israel's doing is unacceptable, and that these actors and creative industry workers have a duty as humans to stand with victims of genocide and to call out crimes against humanity. For this, I actually have to commend this fandom. We're so trivial about shit like fanfic tropes and headcanons, but I'm glad we have our heads on straight for things that truly matter—like real life war and mass violence.

Honestly, the last straw today—although much minor in its gravity compared to genocide apologism—was Barry's childish behavior toward COD fans on twitter who expressed that they agreed with Christopher Judge's joke at The Game Awards last night that the MWIII campaign was too short. You do not get to talk down, mock, or be childish to your fans when they give you feedback on a public platform as an actor. Judge did not even attack the quality of the game or the VAs' performances—he only joked about the game's super short length. Yet, Barry chooses to act out on Twitter because of these harmless jokes. He seems to care more about protecting his ego as "Captain Price's actor" than about the quality of the game or story that fans are receiving and sometimes paying upwards of 100 dollars for.

I thought to myself, okay, this is just one actor letting his ego get to him. That's not that extraordinary. But the fact that COD devs on Twitter today also starting getting defensive about the jokes and trying to excuse the shitty game they produced? That truly showed me that the horrible launch of the campaign and of MP that happened with MWIII was not a learning opportunity for these studios or devs, but rather only made them stick their heads further up their own asses.

I have little faith in this franchise and honestly am not enjoying it, both in terms of game play and the political discourses coming from its creators. After the Season 1 BP is completed (because I fucking paid for it—sadly), I will be planning to uninstall and shelf the game. If I ever play a COD game in the future, it'll be after it goes on a sale because I won't be paying full price. But the thought of giving this company any more money turns me the fuck off right now.

I also realize I'm co-admin for @dailycallofduty and I will still be participating in running it. I'll be promoting the actors' signings less and promoting the game's new content less. Nonetheless, I'll still be reblogging posts that dailycallofduty is tagged in, like art, graphics, and gifs. On my personal blog, I'll still be reblogging COD gifs that I'm tagged in by friends & mutuals. Just don't be expecting more gifs from me. Not that there were many great scenes to make gifs from this new game anyway.

If you made it this far, thanks for reading.

Brazil announces first indigenous woman president of indigenous protection agency Funai

An indigenous smoking ritual opened the ceremony. Then, Brazil’s national anthem was sung in the language of the Macuxi people, who live in the northern state of Roraima on the border with Venezuela. 

Joênia Wapichana, the first indigenous federal deputy to be elected in Brazil in 2018, on Friday, January 3rd  also became the first indigenous woman president of Funai, the federal agency tasked with protecting indigenous peoples.

Appointed by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Wapichana will take over for her predecessor, Marcelo Xavier, a former police official with ties to agribusiness that was appointed by far-right former President Jair Bolsonaro.

Fernando Vianna, a current Funai employee and chair of Indigenistas Associados (Associated Indigenists), or INA, an independent indigenous rights defender, had previously told Brazil Reports that Xavier represented the interests of miners and agribusiness, rather than those of indigenous communities he was tasked with protecting as president of Funai.

Entrevista com o arqueólogo, explorador e linguista Luiz Caldas Tibiriçá

Foi por intermédio do jornalista, escritor, ufólogo e explorador espanhol Pablo Villarrubia Mauso que pude ter a honra de conhecer e entrevistar o grande músico, compositor, folclorista, explorador, indigenista, antropólogo, arqueólogo, linguista e escritor Luiz Caldas Tibiriçá (1913-2006) em sua casa em Pinheiros, zona oeste de São Paulo, em 17 de fevereiro de 1997.

Na ocasião, Tibiriçá estava com 83 anos, mas ainda exibia invejáveis lucidez, disposição e vigor físico, tanto que voltaria a participar de expedições arqueológicas pelo sertão brasileiro. Entre inúmeras obras, entre eles o livro de contos O Fruto Proibido (São Paulo, João Scortecci, 1995), com que nos presenteou, Tibiriçá era autor de três monografias inéditas (resultantes de 15 anos de pesquisas), de um monumental Dicionário Tupi-Guarani (que confirmaria que o tupi era o mesmo idioma usado pelos hititas da Anatólia), e de um não menos monumental dicionário de raízes primitivas de estudos comparativos (que demonstrariam a existência de uma língua-mãe pré-histórica que teria se difundido e se tornando universal).

Estes são apenas os primeiros 12 minutos da entrevista, já que infelizmente o restante ficou com o som bastante prejudicado, lembrando que usávamos na época gravadores analógicos de fita k-7. Mas você pode tentar ouvir o conteúdo integral, audível em muitos trechos, aqui:

FRANCISCA DE GAZMIRA

Pablo Deluca

FRANCISCA DE GAZMIRA (La Palma)

Personaje femenino perteneciente al bando de Adirane cautivada antes de 1489, año en que ya se documenta la venta de esclavos palmeros en Valencia. Fue obligada a ser intermediaria entre los suyos y el Cabildo de Gran Canaria y el gobernador Maldonado, en los años precedentes a la invasión castellana de la isla de Benahuare:

“Entre finales de 1491 y abril de 1492, Maldonado, el Obispo de Canarias y el Cabildo catedral, prepararon la conquista de Tenerife y La Palma. Remitieron como emisario a Francisca de Gazmira (palmera), ama del regidor Diego de Zurita, la cual convenció, (engañada por los cristianos que le prometieron su libertad) a los principales jefes palmeros llevándolos a Gran Canaria donde fueron bautizados y devueltos a su isla con la consigna de hacer proselitismo entre su gente. El camino quedaba acondicionado para el taimado y ambicioso Alonso Fernández de Lugo” (F. Morales Padrón, 1978).

Francisca de Gazmira se constituye, después de la invasión de La Palma en 1493, en la defensora de sus hermanos isleños esclavizados ante la justicia española. Aparece también como Francisca de La Palma denunciando a Lugo al que acusa de vender como esclavos a 22 muchachos palmeros como rehenes de los convertidos y cautivar a cien más, matar a dos cabezas del bando territorial, impedirle salir de la isla para defender sus derechos, agraviar a sus parientes y robarles su ganado (Dto. del 28-02-1495, E. Aznar Vallejo, IEC, 1981).

Las Crónicas históricas refieren la resistencia y rebelión de los benahoritas al esclavismo de Lugo:

“Los palmeros, como vieron a Alonso de Lugo fuera de la isla, levantáronse más de trescientos palmeros, los cuales hacían mucho daño. Desto fue avisado Alonso de Lugo, que estaba en Tenerife(…) y mandó por capitán de la isla de La Palma, para que la quietase, a Diego Rodriguez de Talavera (…) y con ellos, después de algunos reencuentros que tuvo, los desbarató, aunque le costó algunos soldados que le mataron y muchos heridos” (Abreu Galindo, 1602, Ed. 1977).

Más adelante, en 1500, una vez incorporada la isla a la Corona española, Francisca de Gazmira presentó un litigio en la Corte en defensa de los palmeros bautizados de los bandos de paces y esclavizados por Lugo, que intentó sobornarla sin éxito para anular su denuncia:

“1500 Julio 25. Granada. Iniciativa a don Juan de Silva, conde de Cifuentes, alférez mayor y miembro del Consejo, para que determine en el pleito de algunos canarios, que dicen ser libres y estar sometidos a servidumbre(…) estando suficientemente probado su justicia por el hecho que doña Inés Peraza diese a Francisca de Gazmira 60.000 maravedís para que no continuase el litigio…” (E. Aznar Vallejo, “Dtos. canarios en el Registro del Sello”, 1446-1517, IEC, 1981).

En relación al hábitat de Francisca de Gazmira, que dio origen a su antropónimo, el siguiente documento aclara su ubicación:

“Sevilla, 27 de junio de 1500…estando en las yslas de La Palma e Tenerife, puede aver syete años poco más o menos, diz que tomó por propia abtoridad treynta e tres vecinos de la ysla de La Palma del bando de Gazmira, a donde dicen las cuevas de Herrera, y los cabtivó a todos e a sus mujeres e fijos e familia, seyendo como diz que heran christianos e de pazes…”(A.Rumeu de Armas, “La política indigenista de Isabel la Católica”, 1969)

Gazmira < lit:”wa s iemira”=”este (lugar) a (hacia) lo abierto”, del vb.“ar, iura”(R)=”abrir” y de la variante participal “mar, iemira”=”estar abierto” (Ch. Foucauld, 1951, dial. tuareg Ahaggar). Evolución: “wa s iemira > wasmira > guazmira > gazmira”, por contracción, conversión labio-velar “wa>gua” y cambio “s>z” en el sistema fonético del dialecto tahaggart. Podría asociarse pues a un lugar abierto o espacioso después de traspasar un lugar estrecho. Si nos atenemos a la información que transmiten las Crónicas históricas se confirma la ubicación y las dos entradas o pasos a la Caldera de Taburiente:

“Tazacorte y Los Llanos, hasta donde dicen las Cuevas de Herrera, Amagar, Tijuya, todo este espacio y término de tierra llamaban antiguamene los palmeros en general Adirane (…) la otra entrada, más común y frecuentada, se llama Adamancasis, que es por las Cuevas que dicen de Herrera” (Abreu Galindo, 1602, Ed. 1977).

La voz Adamancasis < “at amânkad tizi”=lit:”el gran capitán el paso” o “el paso del gran capitán” (en relación a Atanausu, jefe del cantón de Azeró), de donde “amânkad”=” hombre que va delante, capitán”(dial. tuareg Ahaggar) y “tizi”=”paso, desfiladero (dial. kabilio) >”adamancazizi >adamancasis(i)”, por cambios fonéticos “t>d”, “t>z” y “z>s”. Este topónimo se refiere claramente al llamado “Paso del capitán” y, por extensión, a El Paso, municipio palmero. Por consiguiente, las Cuevas de Herrera en las que vivía Francisca de Gazmira se ubicarían al suroeste del núcleo poblacional de El Paso, en territorio “abierto” o llano, próximo al Paso de Abajo y Tajuya y en definitiva en la divisoria de los cantones de Adirane y Azeró, aunque en territorio de Adirane o “bando de paces”.

La política esclavista castellana se produjo antes y al final de la década de los 80 del s.XV en La Palma. Así, en un documento del 9 de enero de 1489 quedaron registrados en el libro de cuentas del Maestre Racional del reino de Valencia los detalles económicos de la venta de una “cautiva canaria de once años, llamada Isabel”. En ese año los invasores castellanos esclavizaban a cientos de indígenas canarios y canarias, una de ellas esta niña palmera de once años, de la que se sabe que su comprador fue un mercader español llamado Miguel de Urrea. El nuevo amo tenía el poder de “venderla, enajenarla y hacer según su propia voluntad, así como a cada señor le es lícito y permitido hacer de sus cosas propias” ("La Conquista de las Islas Canarias a través de las ventas de esclavos en Valencia", V.Cortés, AEA, 1955).

I think it's important to repost. First posted in August 2017 on Art by Women - Women in Arts

fb page: About Anita Brenner

The Revolutionary Mexican-Born, Jewish-American Woman Who Exposed Rivera, Kahlo, and Siqueiros to the World, BY Alan Grabinsky, 08.01.17

"As a journalist, an anthropologist, a cultural promoter and a traveler,

Anita helped position the cultural movement called the Mexican Renaissance in the United States.

Her hybrid identity allowed her to crisscross national boundaries, earning an important role as a type of cultural diplomat."

Orginal post

Anita Brenner (born Hanna Brenner; 13 August 1905 – 1 December 1974) was a transnational Jewish scholar and intellectual,

who wrote extensively in English about the art, culture, and history of Mexico.

She was born in Mexico, raised and educated in the U.S., and returned to Mexico in the 1920s following the Mexican Revolution.

She coined the term 'Mexican Renaissance', "to describe the cultural florescence [that] emerged from the revolution."

As a child of immigrants (Litva), Brenner's heritage caused her to experience both antisemitism and acceptance.

Fleeing discrimination in Texas, she found mentors and colleagues among the European Jewish diaspora living in both Mexico and New York, but Mexico, not the US or Europe, held her loyalty and enduring interest.

She was part of the post-Revolutionary art movement known for its indigenista ideology.

Legacy

Brenner remains an important figure in post-Revolutionary art and history in Mexico, an enthusiast for Mexican art and culture and an active advocate for its importance to a U.S. audience.

A prolific scholar and journalist herself, she has been the subject of studies by Mexicanist scholars.

The Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles plans an exhibition focusing on Brenner in 2017-18, entitled "Another Promised Land: Anita Brenner's Mexico."
