Cacica Juma Xipaia: Standing Up

At just 24, Cacica Juma Xipaia became the Middle Xingu region's first female Chief, but when she uncovered government corruption in 2017, she was forced to flee Brazil. Xipaia later became the first Xipaya representative to speak at the United Nations, going on to establish Instituto Juma which campaigns for the protection of the rainforest and the autonomy of Indigenous peoples. We're honoured to welcome this inspiring leader today, talking about her fight against environmental devastation and for the rights of her people.
