Their existence is threatened each and every day.
Every year, hundreds of Brazilian aborigines are killed for different reasons. Many of the more common causes are disease and violence brought by travelers. There are over 200 different tribes, and all of them are struggling to survive. Most tribes contain only a few dozen people, but some have a few hundred or thousand. Even these larger tribes are facing extinction due to encroachment of the modernized world. Explore the site to find out more about the tribes, the problems they face and how to help.
Although many people are not aware of these issues in the world, they are an all too true occurance. Thousands upon thousands of people are oppressed each and every day. Personally, I think that this issue is a humongous problem. People are being denied their natural born rights. Frankly, this is because of the modern world's encroachment. Despite our willingness to turn a blind eye, these problems are still a reality. Even in our schools and community, individuals are being neglected of their natural rights. People are being bullied because of race, ethnicity, and appearance. We need to open our eyes and start holding each other responsible for the brutalities imposed upon the innocent, seemingly different people. But, if you look closely, how different are we? We all want a safe place to live, a good job, and a loving family. So why do we take away these things from others when we want them only for ourselves?
