CAMPO NOVO DE RONDONIA, Brazil - Ten days after Brazil’s right-wing President Jair Bolsonaro took office, dozens of men entered protected indigenous land in a remote corner of the Amazon, hacking a pathway beneath the jungle canopy.
The invaders retreated. But a bullet-riddled sign at the entrance to their sprawling reservation now serves as their calling card. Land invasions have increased 150 percent since he was elected in late October, according to the Indigenous Missionary Council , a Brazilian advocacy group. “If I become president, there won’t be one square centimeter of land designated for indigenous reservations,” he said at a 2017 campaign stop in the farm state of Mato Grosso.
The official now in charge of land issues is Nabhan Garcia, a right-wing farming organizer who has fought reservations for decades. The tribe shared their cellphone images with Brazil’s Federal Police, who caught one suspect trespassing on their land. But a judge refused to issue an arrest warrant.
