Indigenous presence

Botafogo · Povos originários: passado e presente

Why visit

Indigenous peoples do not belong only to a chapter before colonization. Include their perspectives throughout the route: land, language, rights and the production of knowledge all extend into the present. This optional stop invites you to seek activities led by Indigenous voices and ask who has authority to represent a culture.

What to look for

  • Gardens, subject to confirmed access
  • Previously announced public activities
Who speaks about Indigenous peoples, and who speaks from their own experience?
