Among the objectives, according to a statement released this Saturday by the folder, are “to determine responsibilities regarding the humanitarian tragedy that occurred” and “the construction of a report that will guide the continuity of government actions”.
The agenda includes meetings with Yanomami leaders and associations that work with the indigenous community, in addition to the National Foundation for Indigenous Peoples (Funai) and the Brazilian Institute for the Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (Ibama).
