Re-Discovered Report Details Brazil's 'Extermination' of its Indigenous Peoples

from PRI's The World May 31, 2013 · host The World

The indigenous peoples of Brazil were facing "extermination" in 1967 when a commission of inquiry reported on conditions they were facing. The report said the worst crimes were being carried out by the very agency supposed to be protecting the Indians. The Report quickly "disappeared" under the military dictatorship, only to be re-discovered earlier this year.
