Brazilian President Lula on Friday (April 28th) signed decrees legalizing six new indigenous reserves. Ceremony took place on the last day of the "Terra Livre" ("Free Land") camp, an annual gathering of thousands of indigenous people from all over the country.
The last approval was five years ago, almost to the day, when the Guato people were granted the inalienable right to occupy 20,000 hectares of ancestral lands in the central-western state of Mato Grosso.
