For example, he reported that the agency opened a disciplinary administrative process (PAD) in which he felt like a “military chief.”

“I mean, the presidency, do you see how the guy used the activities necessary to go there and paint the ‘korubos’? And then, the officers who turned me in, you know, I answer the interior department, the PAD, almost like a paramilitary chief, you know? Nobody it doesn’t open an ‘ah’,” he said.

He also stated that he knew he would be persecuted inside when he asked for permission. He mentions his children and criticizes those within the agency who claim that Funai has not become an anti-Indian organization.

“That’s it, that’s what we’ve been through, but I already felt it. I, well, I knew this was going to happen when I asked my permission, you know? I knew it was going to be a fierce fight and I was ready for it, I have little kids to feed too, I have a whole story, my image there is, I also have the reputation for what I have. I fought, I lived, but I couldn’t stay there quietly, to reassure oneself from DAS 1 (officer level), keep pretending that this government is not anti-indigenous, but here we are. who are you pale My face has been completely abducted, taken, taken over by Funai, we all know that,” he says.

Pereira also says it has become “toxic” to the current aspect of the asset. “But that just creates anger and more struggle, right? Let’s not bow our heads, no. Stay there, don’t be discouraged. […] Being around me is kryptonite, poisonous in that direction. I feel good about it. Sad everywhere, huh? Well, it’s good that they know very well the terrain that the thing I’m fighting is pointing at, isn’t it? […] I know which side and what war I’m fighting, right? Where do we win and where do we lose?
