Jones Manoel wrote that young Atikum reported death threats against leaders of the Olho D’água do Padre village, in the Atikum Indigenous Land, following a reoccupation of the Curumim daycare. According to a statement from the Atikum Gameleira Young Activist Group (GJAAG), people associated with the administration of Mayor Elisinho Soares, from Carnaubeira da Penha, made the threats. The statement said that the reoccupation was a community decision, made after intense political persecution by the administration during the electoral period. Manoel also stated that violence against Indigenous peoples was increasing in Brazil and cited 258 murders in 2025, compared to 211 in 2024. He advocated for the complete preservation of the rights of Indigenous peoples to their territories and self-determination, and positioned himself against oligarchies and coronels who, according to him, perpetuated the extermination of populations, ways of life, and indigenous knowledge. #DireitosIndígenas #JustiçaSocial #Ativismo (translated)
