Bruno Araújo Pereira
Bruno Araújo Pereira was a dedicated Brazilian indigenist known for his work with isolated indigenous peoples. As a former coordinator of the National Indian Foundation (FUNAI), he focused on protecting the rights and territories of indigenous communities in the Amazon, particularly in the Vale do Javari region. His commitment to the indigenous cause and his courageous efforts to combat illegal activities such as illegal mining earned him both respect and significant danger. Tragically, Bruno was murdered in June 2022, along with British journalist Dom Phillips, while on an expedition to document the struggles of the indigenous peoples he fought for, leaving behind a legacy of activism and a profound impact on indigenous rights in Brazil.
