GENEVA -- "#Indigenous from Brazil urged the United Nations to join them and demand Brazil halt illegal gold mining, and its #mercury #contamination, now destroying the ancestral homelands of #Kayapó, #Yanomami and #Munduruku Peoples, during the U.N. Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
"Doto Takak Ire, Mebêngôkre, said, 'The Kayapó are still warriors and we will always be defenders of the forests.'
"'We do not want any kind of #exploitation of #NaturalResources in our territories. We want the #Amazon protected, so that our children and all the children of the world can grow up healthy.'"

NEW YORK -- "'Leonard Peltier should come home and be with his great grandson and teach him songs, and what he has left of his life should be spent at home,' Nathan Phillips, Omaha, Deer Clan, told the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues in New York on Monday, as the second week of the session began.
"'Leonard Peltier stood up for the people,' Phillips said, and asked the UN Permanent Forum to write a letter to Coleman Prison and ask for a compassionate release for Peltier. Phillips said Peltier is sick and 79 years old, and has spent more than 40 years in prison.
"'They really don't know who committed the crime that he's in there for, and now his eyesight is really bad. He might die in there, and that would be death by incarceration,' Phillips said.
"'The FBI admitted that they didn't know who did that, so they should let him go,' he said, adding 'the FBIs didn't have no business up there."
