Indigenous Tribes Protest Dam Construction In Brazil's Amazon

SAO LUIZ DO TAPAJOS, BRAZIL - NOVEMBER 26: Members of the Munduruku indigenous tribe walk along the banks of the Tapajos River as they prepare to protest against plans to construct a hydroelectric dam on the river in the Amazon rainforest on November 26, 2014 near Sao Luiz do Tapajos, Para State, Brazil. The tribe members used rocks to form the phrase 'Tapajos Livre' (Free Tapajos) in the sand on the banks of the river in an action in coordination with Greenpeace on the first day of a "Caravan of Resistance" protest. The Munduruku live traditionally along the river and depend on fishing and the river system for their livelihood. The 8.040- MW Sao Luiz do Tapajos mega-dam is one of a series of five dams planned in the region that will flood indigenous lands and national parks including Munduruku villages. The tribe has begun demarcating its ancestral boundaries with GPS devices ahead of the construction after the government failed to do so. The United Nations climate conference is scheduled to begin December 1 in neighboring Peru. (Photo by Mario Tama/Getty Images)
