Rio Indigenous Protesters Evicted
A group indigenous Brazilians were evicted from their homes with tear gas, by the Brazilian government. The building they were living in was admitted many years ago as a place to showcase indigenous life. It is next to the football stadium that's will be used in the World Cup next year and officials wanted it to be turned into an Olympic museum. These indigenous people protested as they still had the desire to use the building to showcase their indigenous lifestyle to tourists, as thn they would be able to see a native way of life. Hundreds of years ago the Spain's traveled the Atlantic in order to steal South American land, and indigenous people have been fighting for what is there's ever since. They are the ones who have to prove that they have the right to uplift their native culture while others are constantly reminding them that their time has past. Brazil has been facing difficulties as they attempt to get the country prepard for holding international sportin events in the coming years, the logos of the author is portrayed through his emphasis of this. Much like in this country commercialism, publicity, and popularity are the most important thing a group of people should want.
