"My home is not yours to destroy"
Do you need teaching resources for younger learners on the Amazon Rainforest and the 1 million tribal and Indigenous people who live there? Check out this animated video ☝️ about the Yanomami, an Amazonian tribe living along the borders of Brazil and Venezuela. For the Yanomami, as for all Amazonian peoples, the rainforest is not just their home, it’s their life: they depend on it for their survival. So when illegal gold miners invade Yanomami land, the consequences for the tribe are devastating. But the Yanomami won’t back down. They continue to resist, doing everything they can to protect their lands and home. With thanks to second year BA Animation and Visual Effects students from Falmouth University for creating this video => For more educational resources on the impact of mining on Indigenous Peoples, check out these videos: When the miners came: https://youtu.be/0FBx2F3LvtA “What would we get from mining? Nothing at all”: https://youtu.be/3Em8mecDafg
