Brazilian Indian chief killed on contested reservation
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (AP)
An Indian chief was shot to death in northeastern Brazil on a reservation where settlers are contending with locals for land and lumber, the government reported. Joaquim Guajajara, who like many Indians used his tribal name as a surname, was found dead in the Arariboia reservation, which is home to 8,000 Guajajara Indians in Maranhao state, the official news agency Agencia Brasil said. Guajajara, 65, was lying by the side of a highway that cuts through the 1 million acre reservation, the agency said. |
