Olá meu nome é Cristian Wari'u Tseremey'wa sou indígena Xavante com ascendência Guarani Nhandewa

ou seja eu pertenço a dois dos mais de 300 povos nativos que existem

resistem aqui no Brasil, somando mais de 270 línguas diferentes com uma

estimativa de quase um milhão de indivíduos espalhados em aldeias e

cidades em todo o território brasileiro, e se falar que não existe indígena

no Brasil tá mentindo!

(música de introdução)

antes de começar o vídeo eu gostaria de pedir que se

inscrevam-se no canal, comente e deixe seu gostei para fortalecer nossa luta

contra desinformação em volta dos povos indígenas.

(transição)

falar dos povos indígenas é automaticamente

falar da luta, resistência, diversidade, riqueza cultural e infelizmente dos

vários equívocos que se difundiram na sociedade e que até mesmo são tratados

como absoluta verdade diferente do que muitas pessoas pensam "índio" não seria

a palavra correta a se referir aos "indígenas" ou povos nativos originário do

"índio" foi um equívoco dos primeiros navegantes ao pisarem essas terras por

acreditarem ter chegado as Índias

o correto é indígena que é o oposto de

"alienígena" e que é um perfeito exemplo pois como todo mundo sabe "alienígena"

é algo que vem de fora do planeta ou de fora da terra

dessa forma a palavra indígena é oposto disso que seria algo nativa da terra

originário da terra mas que é algo corriqueiro até mesmo dentro dos

indígenas e não indígenas denominarem "índio" pois como já disse é algo que vem de muito tempo

outro equívoco que até mesmo eu errava

era da maneira correta que deveria ser nomeados grupos indígenas tribo por

exemplo é incorreto é ultrapassado e uma denominação europeia criada para

hierarquizar os diferentes povos, do selvagem, ao bárbaro e por fim o

civilizado o que é um erro pois povos diferentemente disso não são superiores ou

inferiores apenas têm costumes tradições e organizações sociais e políticas

distintas outros termos que são melhores para se

referir a nós no lugar de tribo é povos nações e se fosse referir ao território

que a gente mora comunidade aldeia ou mesmo perguntar denominação na língua

originária do povo que você está mencionando

Os Guarani por exemplo utilizam tekoha. o mais adequado é nos chamar de povos originários ou povos

indígenas porque abrange mais toda a riqueza e diversidade étnico cultural

se ainda resta uma dúvida sobre isso em 2007 foi segurado pela organização das

Nações Unidas (ONU) a denominação povos se referindo a

indígenas dentro da Declaração das Nações Unidas sobre o Direito dos Povos

Indígenas outra visão errada que muitas pessoas

têm acerca dos povos indígenas é sobre a aparência acredite ou não

muitas pessoas têm a visão indígena cabelo liso pele morena e olhos puxados

mas isso é apenas uma das várias características hoje existentes no

brasil ainda mais se tratando de um país tão

grande como nós no sul logicamente os indígenas têm uma aparência diferente

dos povos indígenas do norte tanto por motivos geográficos como clima ou como

no nordeste em que os indígenas sofreram bem mais pois foram os primeiros povos

que tiveram contato com os "warazu" ou por vezes perseguidos e impedidos de

praticar em sua cultura e hoje sendo discriminados ou às vezes criminalizadas

sendo chamado até de "falsos-índio" por não aparecer mais com o estereótipo de

indígenas mas esses povos vem um processo de luta

até ressurgindo das cinzas reafirmando suas identidades e revivendo suasculturas

um grande exemplo que vem dando muito

certo são os pataxós que lutam diariamente para reconquistar suas

origens e práticas culturais que até então foram perdidas no tempo temos

indígenas com diversos traços físicos alto baixo magro gordo loiro moreno cabelo

enrolado liso pele clara ou escura nosso país é extremamente diverso é de se

esperar que os indígenas também apresentem características físicas distintas tanto

levando em conta a localização como também a tal da miscigenação forçado ou

não ou seja não existe um padrão indígena

o que importa é que não percamos nossas origens culturais

nós não deixamos de ser indígenas ou menos indígenas por não estarmos dentro

desse estereótipo de um índio que foi criada por não indígenas macuxi kayapó

xacriabá bororo guarani, xavante guajajara maxacali pataxó

potiguara terena caingangue tapirapé tupinambá e muitos outros povos são

apenas algumas das muitas que resistem aqui neste país e que são

totalmente diferentes uma das outras línguas pinturas rituais cantos

artesanato e geograficamente espalhados em várias regiões brasileiras

e não é só no amazonas o mato grosso mas também no litoral do brasil e em

capitais brasileiras cada um com suas características bem distintas mas todos

com o mesmo sentimento de manter a cultura de demarcar suas terras e ter a

oportunidade de conseguir passar toda essa riqueza para seus filhos de seus

filhos para seus netos para que assim continuem sendo durante muito e muito tempo

Os Povos Indígenas do Brasil
