Who Are They? - PREVIEW

Purchase: http://www.der.org/films/who-are-they.html The first program in the Indians in Brazil series, Who are They? asks people what they know about Brazilian Indians, exposing common stereotypes. School curriculums emphasize native culture as a historical artifact rather than a contemporary reality, and TV news gives the Brazilian public the impression that Indians are nearly extinct. Some people see natives as lazy, demanding, and savage, while others admit that they know little about Indian culture. This video tries to overcome cultural and language barriers between native and non-native people by introducing viewers to dynamic, growing Indian groups such as the Kaxinawa, Yanomami, Kaingang, Baniwa, Maxacali and Pankararu. It also raises the issue of native identity among people of Indian descent.

These are the Original Inhabitants of what is now Brazil, the so call Native Americans or "Indians".

Our people don't recognize borders and we don't hate the white man. We forgive, but we don't forget.

Many of these other brothers and sister they denied that they have Indigenous Blood as well, we are all Related!!!

Great Video! But its not just Brasil , I find it it to be all of South America in general, but the exceptions being Paraguay and maybe Bolivia. But most south americans seem to be ashamed of their native roots which is ignorant. The natives live in the middle of nowhere, it's not fair. You should be proud to be have native blood! My mother is 75% white and 25% native and ive asked her about her native culture she knows nothing, which is sad.

I hope these native people survive with their race and culture intact. It's funny how when white Europeans now talk about wanted their culture and race to survive then they are called rascist! All people have a right to their land and their life.
