Xingu Page #3

What, Adilson?

Somebody might have

tampered with the plane.

Tampered, how?

Everyone wants to get rid

of you guys.

They'll tell you that in

any two-bit bar in Xavantina.

I can't believe it.

What happened to your leg, Adilson?

We have accidentally found

a good place for a base.

It's begun.

Indians.

- It's the Kreen.

- The giants?

They heard the plane and

came up the mountain to see.

Do you know what these Indians do

to white folk?

Neither he

nor you know that, Adilson.

No white man has ever seen a Kreen.

Claudio, what are we going to do

with Leonardo?

There's too much pressure.

They'll do everything

they can to stop us.

We're going to have

to amputate Adilson's leg.

I'm not going to amputate

anybody's leg.

- He's going to die.

- Let him die with both his legs.

More dignified to be able

to walk into heaven.

Claudio, if we don't cut if off,

he'll die.

We're all going to die, pale face,

all of us.

I'm not going to die!

You guys can die, if you want to.

Claudio, Orlando isn't going to die.

I haven't come this far

just to up and die.

He's decided he isn't going to die.

- Claudio isn't going to die either.

- You hear that, Colo?

You're not going to die either.

- We came here for a reason...

- Yeah, a great reason.

Install a military base right

on top of the Kreen's head.

And they live out

in the middle of nowhere.

I'm hungry-

I want to leave.

I want to get out of here!

- You are already out anyway, Leonardo.

- Shut up, Orlando.

You're out, you f***ed up.

- Enough!

- You're out!

And who's going to make me

go, Orlando?

Who? You?

You did it to yourself.

I see, Orlando.

You're scared of losing your job?

Is that it?

It's all yours, isn't it, Orlando?

This is all yours.

Huh, Orlando? You want it all

for yourself, is that it?

Stop it!

Stop it!

Hey!

We've located the Villas Boas's plane

in the Cachimbo Mountains.

LEONARDO VILLAS BOAS

ABANDONS EXPEDITION

LEONARDO AND HIS INDIAN DAUGHTER

VILLAS BOAS REPLY:

"WE WON'T GIVE UP"

INAUGURATION OF:

CACHIMBO MILITARY BASE

TWO YEARS LATER:

This is our white chief.

Chief Awara.

Chief Kuikuru.

Chief Kalapalo.

Are they the ones who

are going to give us land?

That was the deal.

And give today?

It's not fair,

we had an agreement.

Lot's of people are interested

in that land, Orlandinho.

A symbolic gesture from the governor.

Could be a cattle ranch,

plantation...

Anything you like.

That land already has an owner.

Excuse me.

They're handing out land deeds.

The bastards!

We're on our own now.

Orlando, I gave my word

to the Caiabi...

that they would get their village.

I know, but we're wasting time,

we won't be able to do anything here.

We've got to set up a front.

I'll go to Rio, Sao Paulo.

Janio promised me he'd help.

And you get back to the outpost...

keep the white folks

out any way you can.

If you can.

FARMLAND GAINS GROUND

IN MATO GROSSO:

FOREST AREAS GIVE WAY

TO GRAIN FIELDS:

What do they think they're doing?

A**holes!

Just look!

Sh*t!

Let's go. Let's go!

- I'll go with you.

- No.

- Where's your boss?

- Up at the ranch house.

The ranch house?

So, let's go talk to the fat bastard.

- Show some respect, huh, mister.

- Yeah.

Exactly what you should be showing

more of for this land here.

What do you think you're doing?

This is Indian territory.

- And since when do Indians own land?

- Since always.

You're trespassing on their land.

This is Trumai territory.

Trumai territory my ass,

this is my land.

The governor himself gave it to me.

I think you all better leave

I'm warning you.

Nobody here is afraid

of Indians, buddy.

And they're not afraid

of you either, boy!

You should be.

White people who defend Indians,

for us...

is worse than Indians themselves.

I'm warning you, you hear!

I'm warning you!

I warned them.

I found this near your village.

We hold the governor of Mato Grosso

personally responsible...

for the present state of war

in the Xingu region.

And his blundering policy of

the random distribution...

of the ancestral lands

of the Indian people.

Orlando, one more question please.

One more question.

White folks are sure to start

invading those lands now...

don't you think, Darci?

The official position is...

to occupy the Brazilian territory

and integrate Indians into society.

Civilized Indians.

Does that exist, huh?

You're right... civilized Indians

aren't Indians, are they?

They're civilized. You get me?

Goodbye culture, beliefs,

their differences.

Goodbye Indians.

Exactly why we want to isolate them.

To retard this process.

One day, they'll all

have to integrate...

but this way they'll be

prepared for it.

Three million hectares should be

enough to accommodate everyone.

I can't take this into

my own hands, Orlando.

I could be arrested, you know that?

But revoke the land deeds

in that region that you can do.

The governor is cutting the whole

region up in small pieces.

Minister, just clean out the area.

No ranchers, miners,

nobody saying that they own the land.

That you can do.

Put it all down on paper,

prepare a document.

A map, defining the borders, OK?

PROJECT FOR XINGU INDIAN PARK

BORDERS.

- They've never had borders before.

But now, borders were the best

thing they could have.

VILLAGES ALREADY ESTABLISHED

OUTPOSTS:

Thank you.

But, this is bigger

than Belgium, Orlando.

It's Belgium that is small.

Governor, it'll be the largest

Indian park in the world.

Take out the word "Indian".

Call it just "Xingu Park".

Nobody likes Indians

in Brazil, son.

Well, to please everyone then,

I'll call it "National Xingu Park".

The military love anything

that is "national".

When you become president,

the park will be created.

It's not "when", but "if".

Endeavoring to preserve

the fauna and flora of our country...

recently appointed president,

Janio Quadros...

has just signed decree

number 50.455...

dated April 14, 1961...

authorizing the creation

of the National Xingu Park.

Belgium is ours, Claudio!

- Located on the Xingu River...

- Wait, keep it down.

And measuring over 2 million

square kilometers...

the park will be administrated...

by the Villas Boas brothers

Orlando and Claudio Villas Boas.

And will be home to the Indian peoples

that have inhabited the region...

now for generations.

Marry me?

- When? Today?

- Today.

Orlando.

The radio.

Orlando.

What is it, Orlando?

What is it?

Leonardo...

His heart.

No!

What's wrong, Claudio?

What is it?

He was my brother too.

And did that make any difference

when you sent him away?

All it took was for some white chief

to ask, right, Orlando?

- White chiefs exist, Claudio.

- They exist.

And you've been obeying them

now for 20 years.

You obey them too.

You cleared airstrips...

contacted Indians who had never seen

a white man in their life.

You obey them too.

You do a little more

than just obey.

You play their game.

Who put the Caiabi to work?
