Our History, our voice: a short story

The Indigenous Community of Aldeia Katurãma is formed by groups of families from the Pataxó and Pataxó Hã-hã-hãe ethnicities. We were hit by Vale’s crime in Brumadinho, in 2019. After almost four years, we are in the fight for reparation and we want to tell our own story about this painful, long and violent process. The objective of this initiative is to transmit to the whole world a little of our history, the problems we are experiencing and the construction of solutions to these problems.
The problems and challenges faced by our Indigenous Community continue in all species, such as the insecurity experienced in the territory, whether due to the unavailability of minimum elements for the dignity of human life, such as access to water; or by the procedures adopted by Vale S.A. post breakup. It is in this sense that we denounce the violations of rights suffered by our Indigenous Community of Village Katurãma;
