The Kayapo Resistance

The Kayapo Resistance was a major success for environmental activism.  I feel that although "Going green" is a popular trend at the moment, industry almost always prevails over pretty much anything. So many indigenous people have lost their land, culture and identity due to industry coming in and taking over their way of life, so it is amazing to see how an indigenous people and their collective allies can actually shape political policy, increase awareness, and induce change in order to keep their way of life. The Kayapo Resistance will hopefully give other indigenous groups the courage to fight for ethnic self-assertion in the face of industrialization, and show the modern world the importance of traditional cultural.
