APIB (Articulação dos Povos Indígenas do Brasil) is the national reference for the Indigenous movement in Brazil 🇧🇷, created from the grassroots to unify and strengthen Indigenous peoples across the country. Bringing together regional Indigenous organizations, APIB fosters articulation among different territories and mobilizes against threats to Indigenous rights ✊🏾. Their leadership is key in advocating for Indigenous sovereignty and resisting aggressions that endanger their communities.
