news story
The Brazilian government said the proposed US$6.7 billion hydroelectric dam on the Xingu River, which flows into the Amazon, will supply Brazil with an estimated 11,000 megawatts of power and is essential to meet growing energy demand. Environmentalists warn the dam could destroy the traditional fishing grounds of Indians living nearby and displace as many as 15,000 people.
Gabriel Elizondo said that as the Eletrobras engineer spoke, participants booed while some complained his comments were antagonising ... After he sat down, tribal members surrounded him and began a ritualistic war dance.
Following the attack, Kayapo and dozens more members of his tribe danced with their machetes."He's lucky he's still alive," Partyk Kayapo, told Associated Press.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
