"But I was very sad when that woman insulted my mother."
The third video in the series “History of women invisible to colonial eyes” by PEITA in partnership with Projeto Origin , a network that supports and strengthens the re-existence of indigenous peoples in southern Brazil, is now live. This time, the Kaingang teacher and artisan Rosane Salete Rodrigue s, from Aldeia Kakané Porã, located on the outskirts of Curitiba, where 42 families currently live, tells her story.
Rosane shared a bit of her childhood, family, struggles and shared racist attitudes that she has already experienced. The series was born to give visibility and voice to indigenous women and to encourage dialogue about the dehumanization that coloniality generates in Brazil and the world.
According to Funai , the indigenous population of Brazil was approximately 3 million inhabitants in 1500. After the European invasion and the genocide, in 1957, only 2% remained . Cultural erasure was provided for by law. The “Indian Statute” required that indigenous populations be “integrated into society”. Only in 1988, the Federal Constitution guaranteed them what was considered original rights, that is, prior to the creation of the State itself and which take into account the history of domination from the time of colonization.
According to the Demographic Census carried out by the IBGE in 2010, 817,963 indigenous people declared themselves to be indigenous in the country, with 502,783 living in rural areas and 315,180 inhabiting Brazilian urban areas. The Census shows that all Brazilian states, including the Federal District, have indigenous populations. There are 305 different ethnic groups and 274 registered indigenous languages. This makes Brazil one of the countries with the greatest sociocultural diversity on the planet.
It's 520 years of resistance and fight for the preservation of our ancestry, our history and our planet. Rosane was the one who translated the phrase “Fight like a girl.” into the Kaingang language.
