Members of the Enawene Nawe tribe of Mato Grosso state travelled to
Brazil's capital Brasília last week to demand that the government
legally recognise a key part of their territory. This area is rich in
fish, and is vital to the tribe's survival. It was left out when the
Enawene Nawe's land was officially recognised in 1996.
