Situation of Indigenous Peoples in Mato Grosso do Sul
INDIGENIST MISSIONARY COUNCIL - CIMI
In May of the same year, also in Mato
Grosso do Sul, a disastrous action of
police forces resulted in the death of
Oziel Terena. The murder occurred
during the realization of a repossession
action at a farm called Buriti, which
is inside the indigenous land of the
Terena people, in the municipality of
Sidrolândia. According to the natives,
the shot came from a group of federal
police who were involved in the action.
But the investigation of the death only
concluded that it was not possible to
determine where the shot came from
or who would have been the author of
the shooting because the capsule was
not found.
