The Office of the Provost and the OSU Foundation Present: "Tribes on the Edge," a film Screening by Céline Cousteau
"Tribes on the Edge" traces the health crises and the threats to human rights experienced by the Indigenous peoples of the Vale do Javari in the Brazilian Amazon. From the diseases introduced in the colonial era to more recent challenges – including gold mining, deforestation and the dismantling of land rights – the film documents how the Indigenous peoples of the regions are fighting to protect their homes. Because their land is so critical to the ecological balance of the planet ... they are fighting to protect us all.
