20 Indigenous People Reportedly Killed by Illegal Miners in Brazil | News | teleSUR English: Survival International reported that the killings allegedly took place last month along the Jandiatuba River in western Brazil but only came to light after gold-miners had boasted of the killings.

Survival also condemned budget cuts to the government's National Indian Foundation (FUNAI).
