With the rise to power of a new government in January 2019, the Brazilian State redoubled its efforts to suppress rights conquered by indigenous peoples since the 1988 Constitution, unpairing government agencies to assist indigenous people in various areas and promoting the occupation of their indigenous communities with projects to encourage agribusiness, mining and livestock, primarily.Likewise, the environment has been attacked with unprecedented voracity.The worsening of conflicts and the exploitation of their territories made indigenous people from all regions of Brazil mobilize, occupying the streets of the capitals, the countryside, roads, communication and language.In these battles, we saw the emergence of books, objects, paintings, installations, profiles engaged in social networks, videos of denunciation and many films made by and starring indigenous people, who have traveled around the world taking the word, in a broad sense, of communities, in an effort to "speak to white people" and, perhaps, make them realize the imminence of an ecological catastrophe whose consequences will impact all peoples.Thus, it is understood that indigenous films represent arrow-cameras that launch themselves into the world, contributing to displace traditional notions about science, politics and philosophy, in the search to expand the concept of Cosmopolitics engendered by Isabelle Stengers and defended by authors such as Bruno Latour.It is also intended to demonstrate that modern communication instruments, today as developed as they are widespread, have as their ancestral relatives the technology created by indigenous knowledge.And that the elaboration of our political actions, aiming at the defense of Gaia and well-being, should be guided by art and ancestral sciences, present in every corner of the Earth-forest -just by looking at them
