Amazon Basin / Statement-Declarations

Final Declaration of the Indigenous Peoples Participating in the Xingu Forever Alive Encounter, May 19-23, 2008

We, peoples of the Xingu River, do not want to hear any more about this story of dams on the Xingu River.

We do not want our fish and our animals dead, and our children going hungry.

We want our forest to remain standing; we want our fishes alive, our game alive; we want our gardens and we want to keep our remedies.
