Vaqueiro, Feira Livre de Animais - Cidade de Garanhuns PE, Em 24/10/1942.

to access local newspapers which contain the small amounts of our historical struggles i must buy a thousand dollar plane ticket and go to a few certain libraries, despite all of these newspapers being scanned, typed out, and well indexed, but i cannot access them because of copywrite

when i want to share the beauty, joy, and suffering of my peoples faces, share our beloved homes, images of who we are, i cannot because some xaldo, some outsider, captured the likeness of our faces, of our homes, our land, and now owns it and i cannot use it, we cannot use it

there are no exceptions for us, laws pertaining to indigenous right to this material would necessitate that the state even recognize us as indigenous which they have no reason to do!! why would they!!
