So, in Titus, and his wife, and all the families of the territory to live in, rather than 11 million hectares, an area of 55 acres. “There’s only so much time that has been promised to the mark, since the 1970s, but until now, we’ve been running behind for our territory to be determined. And ever the more that we come here, it seems that things are getting worse,” he said to the lord, to Titus, who had the support of a translation of the event.

He reported the damage to the environment in the vicinity of the earth, which is promoted by the non-indigenous people: “you Are coming to prague, drying out, losing their crops and, through them, also, that we can lose our plants and our planting. They praguejaram of our country”.

“Because that’s what they are doing for us, in the period, agri-business can be hurt ever any more, but we are indigenous, we are strong in the struggle to get there,” he assured me.
