A Brazil-based fund is pursuing an approach to funding Indigenous Peoples which is more attuned to their worldview

‘In Brazil… we still rely on foreign help, much like a charity case, which is subordinating and disrespectful of the integrity of the beneficiary.’ These are the words of Ailton Krenak, an Indigenous leader and coordinator of the Núcleo de Cultura Indígena (Indigenous Culture Centre) and council member of the Casa Socio-Environmental Fund, a fund started by activists to fund grassroots environmental defenders, including Indigenous Peoples.
