Displacement and human rights violations have become a tool to punish the Quilombola Peoples’ identity and reinforce structural racism and impoverishment. This article denounces the Brazilian State’s violations against Quilombola Peoples, known in English as Maroon Peoples, which are part of a wider strategy for demographic reengineering on Indigenous and Quilombola lands for attaining political and economic interests.

Regenerative Agriculture and Permaculture Offer Narrow Solutions to the Climate Crisis
Regenerative agriculture (Regen Ag) and permaculture claim to be the solutions to our ecological crises. While they both borrow practices from Indigenous cultures, critically, they leave out our worldviews and continue the pattern of erasing our history and contributions to the modern world.
While the practices 'sustainable farming' promote are important, they do not encompass the deep cultural and relational changes needed to realize our collective healing.
