In this context 10% of the funds will be directed to an Indigenous Education pool to learn more about Web3;\n# CIM Overview\u00a0\n\nThe Minas Gerais Indigenous Committee (CIM) was founded more than ten years ago, in 2012. Our main objective is to support Indigenous collectives and people who are in urban contexts, in retaken areas and in villages (mainly around Belo Horizonte but also in other regions of Brazil).\n\nWe are composed of 22 ethnic groups, among which ones: **Aran\u00e3, Kambiw\u00e1, Tukano, Macuxi, Patax\u00f3, Patax\u00f3 h\u00e3 h\u00e3 h\u00e3e, Kamak\u00e3, Aymara , Quechua, Penom, Puri, Borun Kren, Xukuru Kariri, Manxineri, Yek'uana, Kambeba, Tupinamb\u00e1, Kaxix\u00f3, Karin\u00e3, Enep\u00e1, Mapuche, Tikuna , Xavante e Caraj\u00e1, Maxakali**.\n\nWe are deeply concerned about the well-being and development of these people, families, migrants and communities, so we always seek to support them through the organization of joint efforts, solidarity campaigns and collective funding.\n\n![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/rxfaHA2Ncon3MpxkpjkVAdR4OEQsYGR_vEeDMUcrdUQeGnUOoq2dlVTc2XTMbRaCzrRc_maN07AMZmBj9Zh-GTwNsp9YDNE1kY1lmvoyRq9MKMJlmjiURuk6WPDWT2LHMHvs4lax1aaArGZpWBzA4_0)\n\nWe work to defend the rights of Indigenous women, socio-environmental rights, the protection of Mother Earth and we fight frontally against the criminal and irresponsible action of some sectors of the Brazilian economy, such as: illegal mining, irregular mining, rampant deforestation and agribusiness without environmental and social sustainability.\u00a0\n\n![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_q3xCb5zVaD6rxxBBtxb1145aYOGNzUM2Eup9wGWi7NetSWe73Eg1C8uoi_u9fCR4m-OPe4pkkDsf96yslKVHGOuTPyZcdnHhCPgkDdvnrNnCblhAkqPrtaWD4lhsE9xRt0SsbuEPAxwZSwNmw5csiU)\n\nWe also promote debates and conferences on gender and racial equality and anti-racist and gender literacy in culture and education and also assisting Indigenous Peoples who are in territorial movement, such as the Warao, the Maxakali or Patax\u00f3 H\u00e3h\u00e3h\u00e3e.\n\n# How ?\u00a0\n\nThrough meetings, virtual and face-to-face meetings, events, debates, we seek to welcome, guide and strengthen ties with Indigenous Peoples and communities, promoting social transformation, through labor insertion favoring, above all, the inclusion of Indigenous Peoples, as well as immigrant Indigenous Peoples and collectives.\n\n![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/yK4Zf_rUOwucL11W3gJNYndzkVIsnwm1uDyb4_pTorb4BWF9LCYtKpa1Lxua6roNFXITnsX4CCaVp6NcWU8npT49fchKijdeWZ_gA0Hpgunl0-47LdiGDZ2x5JOXYHmtuwXnFjsK6dpVd168T_5ffAc)\n\nAn example of this is the \u201c[Abya Yala Exhibition](https://presenteindigena.wixsite.com/mimxoxeoato/yakurunasimi)\u201d, the first Indigenous and immigrant exhibition, with regular weekly activities.

Our collective, in addition to strengthening autonomous work (art exhibitions, participation in cultural and environmental events, etc.), also fosters and engages in the promotion of discussions of relevant issues that contribute to the construction and reflection of public policies focused on the themes: Indigenous, territory and territorialities, environment, racial and gender literacy, rights to fair and sustainable cities, women's rights, children, adolescents and Indigenous youth.\n\nIn more than 10 years of existence, many struggles have been fought through unequal dialogues, in which the institutions of the capitalist system have always sought to override our collective way of being.\n\nHowever, CIM's collective has established resistance and achievements, such as:\u00a0\n\n- A representative place in the Municipal Council for the Promotion of Racial Equality;\u00a0\n- The achievement of the Law establishing the Municipal Week of Indigenous Peoples in Belo Horizonte;\u00a0\n- The insertion of Indigenous Peoples in the Parliamentary Front in Support of Peoples of African Matrix, now called Parliamentary Front in Support of Indigenous Peoples and of African Matrix;\u00a0\n- Institutionalization of the Abya Yala Expo.\n\nNow we are extremely concerned about the sudden end of the government subsidies that were helping us to organize locally and over the national law context which is threatening more than 80% of the Indigenous lands of Brazil.\u00a0\n\nIn this context, we want to learn, explore and discover new tools to help us in our missions of remaining decentralised, helping minorities and having self-determination in our economic activities. We still don't know much about Web3, but this campaign reflects our desire to learn and have trust. \n\nMore than never we need support and urgent funds to maintain or work and autonomy.\u00a0\n\n\u27a1\ufe0f [Here more information on our current Fight against PL 2903/23](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JRgKuBx79vrlyxY0tbqf0SHMmr8-GCIUd1TYICA657o/edit?usp=sharing)\n\n# Use of Funds\u00a0\n\n**1.000$USD (~4.850 $BRL)**\n\n- Urgency: Funding mobilizations against the PL 2903/23 to prevent the destruction of our lands and cultures in the Brazilian Indigenous Territories.
