A-Infos (en) Brazil, CAB: SOLIDARITY WITH THE KAINGANG FAMILIES OF FEPAGRO IN SANTA MARIA-RS (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

We, from the Brazilian Anarchist Coordination, express our deepest 
solidarity with the indigenous retaking of the area of the former 
Fepagro, in the municipality of Santa Maria (RS). We know that this 
retaking means much more than the simple conquest of land: it is the 
affirmation of a right to exist as an original people, to rebuild 
community ways of life, to preserve ancestral knowledge and to fight 
against the destruction of life by capital. ---- The Kaingang families 
arrived at the former Fepagro in July 2025, coming from municipalities 
affected by the 2024 floods and in vulnerable conditions, to claim a 
dignified place to live and exist. The Ven Ga community settled there, 
with about twelve families who now occupy part of the area in the former 
Fepagro.

On the night of October 26th, the families in struggle suffered an 
attack, an act of violence aimed at intimidating and expelling the 
Kaingang people from the area. This attack reflects racist violence and 
continues a project of ethnocide, with genocidal intent, that has been 
attempting to eliminate Indigenous peoples for five centuries, since the 
colonial invasion. The families awoke to an attempted break-in and 
flames spreading near the shed where they live with their children and 
elders. Belongings such as sofas, tarpaulins, and the car used by the 
families were set on fire.

Despite attempts to erase the original existence of this invaded and 
plundered continent, the Kaingang people, like all Indigenous peoples in 
Brazil and throughout the world, are a beacon of hope and an example of 
direct action, patience, and willingness to fight. It is from them that 
we must learn to fight for the liberation of the land, against state 
repression and the devastating fury of capital.

We at CAB stand in solidarity with Ven Ga's retaking of the land in 
their struggle for land and freedom, and we see in the indigenous 
struggle an essential pillar of resistance against the State and 
capitalism, of social struggle, and of the construction of popular power.

The occupation of the former Fepagro site by the Kaingang is not just a 
local claim: it is a radical intervention in the territory contrary to 
the logic of the commodification of life, of expropriation, and of the 
invisibility of the original peoples.

Whoever is against the struggle of the original peoples is our enemy.

NOT ANOTHER DROP OF INDIGENOUS BLOOD!

BRAZIL, INDIGENOUS LAND!
