Today the Trememb\u00e9 live in the municipalities of Itarema, Acara\u00fa and Itapipoca (all in Cear\u00e1 state). They are spread among 15 villages, which lie in the zona da mata <\/em> and beach regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 1970s, the Trememb\u00e9 began to suffer territorial attacks from agro-industrial companies moving into their lands. Prominent among them is Ducoco Agr\u00edcola S.A., which makes food products and has large scale coconut plantations on the Trememb\u00e9 de Almofala Indigenous Land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company was operating at Fazenda S\u00e3o Gabriel, another Trememb\u00e9 area, before moving all of its operations onto the Indigenous Land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first conflicts with Ducoco were with Indigenous people living in the zona da mata<\/em>. When the company expanded towards the beach, the villages combined their forces to remove the company, but were unsuccessful. The company now concentrates its activities in the beach zone of the Trememb\u00e9 de Almofala Indigenous Land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Trememb\u00e9 inhabit 9,247 hectares, of which 4,900 hectares comprise the Trememb\u00e9 de Almofala Indigenous Land.  Ducoco uses 1,400 hectares of this. Most of their coconut plantations are in the villages of Batedeira I and II, Vila da Tapera and Varjota. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1993, the National Indian Foundation (FUNAI) presidency approved the Circumstantiated Identification and Delimitation Report of the Trememb\u00e9 de Almofala Indigenous Land and passed it on to the Justice Ministry. However, state representatives from the municipality of Itarema contested the process, and Ducoco filed legal actions against the demarcation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ducoco\u2019s lawyers challenged the anthropological studies upon which the Circumstantiated Identification and Delimitation Report was based.  They alleged that the anthropologist had direct influence on the Indigenous community. The demarcation has been suspended by the courts since 1996, with  the suit at the 27th<\/sup> federal court in Itapipoca. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As can be seen, the company has made it impossible to recognize Trememb\u00e9 land rights, by tying the demarcation process up in the courts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
