Beating the Odds

Most of the news about indigenous peoples is bad: states, corporations and vigilantes threatening, assaulting or murdering them in order to steal their land and resources. Occasionally, though, we hear of indigenous communities — often in collaboration with civil society supporters — that surmount the odds. For one Guarani community in Brazil, beating the odds means they can return to their land, rather than slowly dying in exile.
