NEW! Read the book “Nascentes Vivas” (Living Springs) by author Mazé Torquato Chotil.
The Dourados Indigenous Village in Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, includes the Bororó and Jaguapirú villages. According to the UN, it has the largest number of confined indigenous people in the world and the second largest indigenous population in Brazil lives there. The village area was 3,474 hectares when it was established. Today, more than 15,600 people from the Guarani, Kaiowá, Terena, and Mestizo ethnic groups live there, representing about 18% of the indigenous population of the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. The large population has led to the depletion of the natural resources necessary for survival and, therefore, to a multitude of subsequent problems: Worsening social differences, high rates of suicide, alcoholism, violence—especially against women—murders, drugs, child malnutrition, ethnic and other power conflicts, lack of drinking water, food, and sanitation facilities, no sewage system, and garbage collection. In view of this situation, there is an urgent need to develop strategies to rebuild a self-sustaining social, economic, ecological, and cultural ecosystem.
