Hosts for half a century

The film presents the perspective of our Mỹky people on 50 years of contact with the non-indigenous population. We portray our experiences and movements in the territory, such as collecting tucum and bacava, going to the city of Brasnorte to shop, accessing services and participating in local politics. Young Typju Mỹky guides us along with the elders, who reflect on our way of life and the changes experienced by our people in the last half century. The stories about the past and the archival images help us understand life before the arrival of the Kewa, the non-indigenous people, and the profound transformations they brought with them. Finally, the time has come to tell our own version of history.
