The Indigenous people of Brazil are an essential part of Brazil's multicultural society. In this reading group, we invite those interested in reading and discussing the ways Indigenous communities record their customs and traditions, the environmental injustices they face with the construction of the Belo Monte Da, and essays by Ailton Krenak, the first Indigenous writer accepted to the Brazilian Academy of Letters. Meetings are from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. Sept. 23 and Oct. 21, and 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. Nov. 11.
