✊ We mustn’t look away. Stand with Ngigoro and the other Hongana Manyawa. Write to Eramet, car companies and the Indonesian authorities – together we can stop the destruction of the Hongana Manyawa people: svlint.org/IndonesiaB

Ngigoro also sought meetings with several German car manufacturers that might be sourcing nickel from his people’s territory. But none of them would meet with him.

It’s a scandal: corporations that present themselves as sustainable turn a blind eye to the potential gen*cide of uncontacted peoples.

A massive nickel mine part-owned by French company Eramet is systematically destroying their home and threatening the survival of uncontacted Hongana Manyawa people.

It’s a violation of international law, and of Eramet’s so-called “sustainability” commitments.

Protecting Indigenous territories is crucial for the survival of Indigenous peoples and us all - but the Brazilian Congress would rather sign the death warrant of our future than support Indigenous rights.

Survival is against the Time Limit Trick in all its forms.

This move threatens fundamental rights that the Constitution guarantees to Indigenous peoples, like:
-the right to live on their ancestral lands;
-the right to life and cultural integrity;
-the right to the exclusive use of resources on Indigenous lands;
-the right to free, prior & informed consent

The Chamber of Deputies will vote on it next. Presidents aren’t involved in the process of such changes.

And though Mainguejai dreams of one day meeting his relatives, above all he wants them to be safe — to live freely, and without fear.

Will you stand with him?

Now 24, he lives in the community of Chaidi, watching as bulldozers carve through his people’s ancestral land. His family — his uncles and nephews — are still in the forest. Every day, he fears the sound of destruction getting closer.
