I’m the chief of the Boa Esperança village. I will keep talking now about G8 and indigenous people. And I also want to say to our people that fight for its rights, for its dignity, that is seeking its right as a human being. We understand that the G8 wants to destroy the dignity, the richness… it wants to destroy the people, who are human beings just like them. They want to destroy that. They want the indigenous people, suffering people, to be in their hands but we don’t want that. We never thought of being in the hands of those powerful people. But only God is powerful. We don’t want to be no longer massacred by this economic power for we are capable of running, of making a different world. It’s not in those powerful hands to do that. They can only do it through money, not because they have built the life of a person. That economic group has only power to destroy. Not to get life to human beings. That’s why we think the G8 will only destroy the human being even more and also will confuse more the people that seek their right to be a human being. We do not agree with that economic group they are organizing, that G8 project. We don’t agree with that.
