Brazil tribes occupy contentious dam site - Features - Al Jazeera English: Altamira, Brazil - A cluster of 12 men from the Xikrin tribe chant in their native language while marching together, arms interlocked, stomping their feet against the dry red dirt. They say this is their call of resistance from the Amazon.
The Xikrin are joined by about 150 indigenous people from three other tribes - the Arara, Juruna, and Parakana - that are occupying one of the work sites at the Belo Monte dam construction site in what is becoming a high-stakes standoff. The occupation, which is entering its second week, has halted a part of the construction on what will be the world's third-largest hydroelectric dam.
