“Without her we can't live. Without her, we the Indigenous poeple, we're nothing. Because Nature and Indigenous people are connected.” – Marciane, Cacica, Kokama, Brazil

Hello, my name is Tatira Cacique Marciane. I'm the leader from the Kokama Indigenous Association of Santo Antônio do Içá. From Alto Solimões, Sol do Amazonas. I want to kindly ask you in this video to keep our Nature standing. Without her we can't live. Without her, we the Indigenous peoples, we're nothing, because Nature and Indigenous people are connected.

Because without Nature we can't raise our children or get our food, because that's where we get it from. We need clean rivers and streams, because with the river polluted, our food, our children will have problems, but we don't want that.

So that's why I'm asking to keep our Nature alive, because we do everything to have our nature, our river, our streams. Together with us, because we, original peoples, are where we find ourselves, together with nature, we live with it, because if Mother Nature cries, we cry along with her.

So that's why I strongly ask you to keep our Nature alive, because without her we are nothing. We, the Indigenous people, we need Nature. It's my surupáki.
