Situation of Indigenous Peoples in Mato Grosso do Sul

THE INDIGENIST MISSIONARY COUNCIL + INDIGENIST MISSIONARY COUNCIL CINI Created in 1972, when the Brazilian State openly assumed the integration of indigenous peoples with society at large as a sole perspective for the indigenous, Cimi sought to favor the articulation between indigenous villages and peoples, promoting the big indigenous assemblies, where the first outlines were drawn for the fight to guarantee the right to cultural diversity. The indigenist missionary council is a body linked to the national conference of the bishops of Brazil. The general objective of Cimi has been defined by the General Assembly on this theme as follows: Bear witness of and prophetically proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom, serving the life projects of the indigenous peoples, denouncing the structures of domination, violence and injustice, practicing intercultural, inter-religious and ecumenical dialogue, supporting the alliances of these peoples among themselves and with the popular sectors of society to build a world for everyone, egalitarian, democratic, multicultural and in harmony with nature, in the direction of the definitive Kingdom.
