The president of Brazil's National Indigenous Peoples Foundation (Funai), Joênia Wapichana, signed on March 25 the Detailed Identification and Delimitation Report of the Ararà Indigenous Territory – an important step in recognizing the territorial rights of the Indigenous Peoples of Baixo Jatapu, in the Wayamu territory. This represents Brazil's recognition of continuous Indigenous Peoples' guardianship and marks the beginning of a new stage in the demarcation process.

The Conversation invited Nicole Yamase and filmmaker Daniel Lin to talk about “Remathau: People of the Ocean.” Produced by Nia Tero, the documentary follows Nicole Yamase’s expedition to the deepest part of the ocean. Along the way, the young marine biologist embarks on a journey of self-discovery, reconnecting with her community’s strength and oceanic heritage.
