Human banner at World Social Forum
Submitted by WW4 Report on Fri, 01/30/2009 - 06:24
Indigenous people from across Latin America led more than 1,000 protesters, gathered in Belem, Brazil, for the World Social Forum, in formation of a human banner Jan. 27. Around the giant outline of a warrior taking aim with a bow and arrow, indigenous leaders and activists spelled out the message "SALVE A AMAZONIA," or "save the Amazon" in Portuguese. Some of the indigenous participants were in traditional garb and armed with bows and arrows themselves.
