Federal Government Creates Task Force to Receive Reports of Threats and Acts of Violence Against Indigenous Peoples Minister of Indigenous Peoples, Eloi Terana, announced on October 29 the creation of a task force with three ministries to investigate threats to indigenous communities after the 2026 elections. The initiative brings together the ministries of indigenous peoples, racial equality and human rights. Federal police have already opened an investigation into several complaints, including threats to poison water in Aldea Sesoro, in Takuru. The Articulation of Indigenous Peoples in Brazil (APIB) reported death threats, racist demonstrations, pedestrian accidents and deaths in various municipalities. The federal public office is also investigating the allegations, while a municipal employee has been fired. Superintendent Ivan Montiel announced that he would seek criminal and civil liability for those involved. The MS Secretariat of Public Security has denied the occurrence of genocide against indigenous people, while investigations into the threats continue.
