     The portraits were captured during Acampamento Terra Livre (ATL) 2025, the largest Indigenous gathering in Brazil - a space of resistance, affirmation, and ancestral power. Here, Indigenous peoples from across the territories came not only to defend their land and rights, but to embody their cultures with strength, dignity, and pride. What you see in these images is more than appearance. It is energy. It is voice. It is the unspoken language of presence - of being seen, of holding ground. The headdresses, feathers, beads, and body paint are deeply symbolic. They carry the weight of lineage, the codes of nature, and the sacred stories of people who have lived in harmony with the land for millennia. Some portraits in this book may not show these adornments in full. Rather than diminish them, these frames reflect the rhythm of real moments - spontaneous, mobile, alive. This book does not attempt to speak for those pictured. It offers a witness. A visual honouring of individuals whose presence at ATL formed a collective force - not just of protest, but of being. To the keepers of knowledge, to those who protect the forest and the future, and to those whose lives have been brutally taken simply for existing
