The crisis of the Yanomami indigenous people is present at the Rio de Janeiro Carnival 2024. The dancers of the Academicos do Salgueiro samba school also paid tribute to Bruno Pereira and Dom Phillips, murdered in 2022.
In recent years, a growing number ofYanomami have died from the flu, malaria and malnutrition that has occurred in their territory, isolated in the Amazon, after the arrival of illegal miners. The situation led Lula da Silva's Government to declare a health emergency.
