“The Xikrin-Kayapo: People of the Big Water”

An indigenous Munduruku man and member of the Federal Police argue during an occupation of the Belo Monte Dam. The Belo Monte is the first of a series of dams planned across the Amazon, and the Munduruku have come from the Tapaj's River to protest several planned dams there. On May 27th, an indigenous group made up predominantly of Munduruku occupied Belo Monte and halted construction on the main turbine site. (Photo and caption by Taylor Weidman)
