An Indian organisation in northern Brazil has sent a message of thanks
to Survival supporters after winning back their land, known as
Raposa-Serra do Sol. In a message entitled 'A brighter future shines',
the Indigenous Council of Roraima said, 'We thank you from the bottom
of our hearts. We thank all of you who spent hours and days working on
campaigns, writing letters, sending e-mails…
'For our elders, the sense of liberty is stretching across to the
mountains on the horizon… We are preparing a huge celebration in the
coming months. Meanwhile, our deepest thanks.'
