The Kapinaw\u00e1 Indigenous Land is located between the municipalities of Bu\u00edque, Tupanatinga and Ibimirim, in Pernambuco state. It occupies 12,403 hectares and has an approximate population of six thousand Indigenous people distributed across 28 villages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Kapinaw\u00e1 Indigenous Land is currently being expanded. Most of the territory was not included in the demarcation completed in 1986, and 127 families remained outside the demarcated perimeter. Of these families, 45 live in or near the Catimbau National Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Catimbau National Park was created on 13 December 2002, without any prior consultation with the local communities. The negotiations to create the Catimbau National Park occurred when Archimendes Guedes Valen\u00e7a was mayor of Bu\u00edque, with participation of other politicians in the state, as well as the communities of Catimbau and neighboring areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2002, technicians from the National Indian Foundation [Funai]reported the existence of various Kapinaw\u00e1 families outside of any village and within the park\u2019s perimeter. These are the families that were not included in the demarcation process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meetings were held at the time of the park\u2019s creation, but none of the village leaders were invited. However, some villages close to the park learned the date and time of the last meetings and attended them because they rejected the placement of the National Park in their territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some of the meetings were attended by representatives of the Brazilian Institute of the Environment and Renewable Natural Resources [Ibama], and by Jos\u00e9 Augusto Laranjeiras Sampaio, of the National Association for Indigenous Action, Sandro Calheiros L\u00f4bo, a lawyer from the Indigenist Missionary Council [Cimi], and the sociologist Heloisa Eneida Cavalcante, of the Luiz Freire Cultural Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2007, Ibama was reorganized and the Chico Mendes Institute for the Preservation of Biodiversity (ICMBio) assumed responsibility for the National Park. New meetings were held between representatives of ICMBio and Indigenous people to intimidate the villages and impede the entrance of Indigenous people into the Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ibama had already tried numerous times to remove the Indigenous families from the park, mainly during the administration of Brazilian President Luiz In\u00e1cio \u201cLula\u201d da Silva, but only those living outside the demarcation area. The Kapinaw\u00e1 people call for an expansion of the demarcated area, which includes what are considered to be essential areas outside the Indigenous Land. These are mainly places where archeological sites and ancestral rock carvings are found, in addition to groups of Indigenous families. Most of this area, approximately 12 thousand hectares, is inside the National Park.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
