Mientras los periódicos y las televisiones hablan de la
vida de los famosos, el jefe de la tribu Kayapo recibía la peor noticia de su
vida:
While newspapers and TV talk about the life of the famous, the
head of the Kayapo tribe received the worst news of his life:
Dilma, la presidenta del Brasil, ha dado
el visto bueno a la construcción de una planta hidroeléctrica enorme (la
tercera más grande del Mundo).
Dilma, the president of Brazil, has given approval to build a huge hydroelectric
plant (the third largest in the world).
Es la sentencia de muerte a todos los pueblos cercanos al río, ya que la presa inundará 400.000 hectáreas de bosque.
Es la sentencia de muerte a todos los pueblos cercanos al río, ya que la presa inundará 400.000 hectáreas de bosque.
Más de 40.000 indígenas no tendrán donde
vivir.
La destrucción del hábitat natural,
deforestación y la desaparición de multitud de especies es un hecho.
It is the death sentence to all river towns, as the dam will flood 400,000
hectares of forest.
More than 40,000 indigenous people have no place to live.
The destruction of natural habitat, deforestation and the disappearance of many species is a fact.
¡40.000 seres humanos!...

¡40.000 seres humanos!...
¿Y nos preocupamos por 6 o 7 o 10 que
llenan las revistas?
¿Qué llevan puesto?
¿Con quién se casan?
¿De quién se divorcian?...
¡Por Dios... qué vergüenza, sentimos los
que valoramos cada VIDA COMO ÚNICA!
40,000 people! ...
What we care about 6 or 7 or 10 that fill the magazines?
What are they wearing?
Whom do they marry?
Who gets divorced? ...
My God ... what a shame, we feel that we value each LIFE AS ONE! But do we?
¡NO hay vidas "MAS DIGNAS" que otras!... todas estamos en este mundo para vivir con la misma dignidad... y no habrá una "guerra justa"(si alguna lo es...), simplemente ante este imperdonable, habrá un silencio:

¡el de
los fuertes!
Lo que conmueve y hace que algo se retuerza por dentro, lo que genera vergüenza de nuestra cultura...
NO lives are "more worthy" than others! All of us in this world are entitled to live with the same dignity ... and there will be a "just war" (if there is ...), just before this unforgivable, there will be silence:
That of the strong!
What makes something touching and twisting on the inside, creating shame in our culture ...
La "impresión" que tuvo el jefe de la comunidad Kayapo al enterarse de esa decisión, su gesto de dignidad y de impotencia, bajando la cabeza, llorando... ante el avance de "nuestro progreso", hipercapitalista, la modernidad depredadora, la civilización que no respeta la diferencia ...
The "impression" that had the chief of the Kayapo community to learn of this decision, the gesture of dignity and impotence, lowering his head, crying ... before the advance of "our progress", a hypercapitalist, modern (??) predatory civilization that does not respect the difference ...
¿Hasta cuándo aún?...

¿Y qué
va a ser ahora mismo tambien de los Dongria Kondh? en la misma situación, y
tantos y tantos seres humanos oprimidos...
¿A nadie le importan....?
How long still? ...
What will happen now also the Dongria Kondh? in the same situation, and so many human beings oppressed ...
What… no one cares ....?
Sólo podemos cambiarlo nosotros, cada uno de nosotros, no ellos...

Por favor haz que esto circule
y sintamos vergüenza...
We
can only change ourselves, each one of us, not them ...
Please send this story to as many as you can
Please send this story to as many as you can
and feel ashamed ...
I intend there is enough reaction to this news that the President of Brazil sees the value in changing/reversing his permitting decision and that other solutions are found for electrical energy so these indigenous peoples and other native peoples are continuing to live and love and feed their families on their lands and the animals and birds and insects continue to do their destiny work on these lands and this is for the highest and best good of all concerned, so be it and so it is! Whoooooooooo!
hello sandy, thank you for this post and for recognizing that issues like the one the kayapo people are facing demand that we do all we can as citizens of the planet. life is a gift to each of us and it is good to remind ourselves that cherishing and honoring it extends to and includes cherishing and honoring the lives of all others who share the earth with us. novice that i am in "intending", i am glad to say count me in to align with your intending that the brazilian president changes his mind. hugs to you, karen
