The Brazilian government must uphold its own constitution by demarcating the Aw area and guaranteeing its protection. It is essential that the whole area of 247,000 hectares is demarcated so that it is contiguous with the Indian territories to the north and south. Funds exist to carry out the demarcation. It must be done immediately before more uncontacted Aw are killed. Survival also has footage of the Aw on Mini DV taken earlier this year.
Survival is a worldwide organisation supporting tribal peoples.
It stands for their right to decide their own future and helps them protect their lives, lands and human rights.
