Riverfolk Tocantins River

My work follows Indigenous, Quilombola (African descendant), and other river folk along the Tocntins River, where I lived in the Brazilian Amazon from 2022-2023. Their lives may change forever as the government plans to blow the river up and dredge it for an industrial shipping channel.
