"May everyone have the right to housing on their own land, be able to produce healthy food, preserve the environment, and keep culture alive, because in a place where there is no culture, violence becomes a spectacle."

"For a world where all peoples can be free and sovereign."

"MAY THERE BE A MORE JUST AND FRATERNAL SOCIETY IN THE FUTURE WITH OUR NEW HOPE, WITH A BETTER WAY OF LIVING, WITHOUT SOCIAL INEQUALITY."

"WHAT WE WANT FROM A FUTURE AHEAD IS TO LIE IN THIS HAMMOCK, LOOK AT THE PAST AND SAY, THE STRUGGLE WAS WORTH IT!"

"IN THE FUTURE WE WANT INDIGENOUS POPULATIONS TO STAY HERE, TO HAVE LAND TO WORK. MAY FAMILY FARMING PREVAIL, SO THAT WE HAVE QUALITY FOOD, WE CAN TAKE CARE OF THE LAND, GIVING THE LAND WHAT IT NEEDS, THIS WAY WE WILL BE ABLE TO SEE AN IMAGE LIKE THIS, WITH PRESERVATION, WITH GOOD CLIMATE."

"IF WE DON'T KNOW WHERE WE CAME FROM, HOW CAN WE PROJECT OUR FUTURE, OUR TOMORROW?"

For a world where peoples can be free and sovereign. In this new world we dream of, we wish for a happy future, a more just and fraternal society, with our new hope, with better worldviews for our families and for everyone, with a better way of living, without social inequalities. A future of free access to all knowledge and balance, in which countries do not abandon children, their sons and daughters, their ancestors, thus creating a new time. We wish to know our social formation and the struggles that preceded us so that there is no inequality and everyone helps one another, so that future generations, who are our children, can live the life that every child desires. If we do not know where we came from, how can we project our future, our tomorrow? We dream of a future where life flourishes like the "mandacaru" in the sertão: resilient, beautiful, and fertile. Where, like the phoenix, we can rise from pain and find light at the end of the well, and have faith in a better tomorrow. We want a future with health for all, decent wages, our own homes, quality schools, leisure, and prosperity. A just future is one in which the indigenous population remains here, with the right to the land they deserve. A future where everyone has their land to plant, harvest, and live with dignity. Because through agriculture and healthy food, caring for the land and giving what the land needs, we will have preservation, a good climate, with whinds. All of this only happens because of work done by us, family farmers. Indigenous people and agriculture walk together. They both complement the land to work and protect the forest itself. We dream of clean rivers, preserved forests, protected fauna, and clean air. We want the end of deforestation, predatory hunting, and practices that destroy biodiversity. Taking from the land only what we need. Not for profit. Our future is one of harmony between rocks, sea, land, sky, people, and all living beings. A just future has no racism, inequality, or discrimination. It is a future of social equality, mutual respect, peace among peoples, and valuing ancestral and traditional knowledge. A future without war, but rather a friendly shoulder, a helping hand, where peace will reign in our land and in our homes. We believe that where there is no culture, violence becomes a spectacle. Therefore, our future is full of living culture, collective celebrations, and solidarity. Today there is a hegemonic media, and we need to build our own story, our own narrative — what we want is where we are going. May music always accompany us, may it always lift our spirits along the way until dusk. Rosa Luxemburg once said, don't invite me to a revolution if there is no dance. It is important that we also have this moment of leisure because today we only have hard and heavy work. For our children and youth, we want a future of movement. That all children in the world have the right to study and play, for that is the good of life. Football, companionship, and play are pathways of development and resistance against loneliness, sedentary lifestyles, and addiction to screens and modern technologies. In short, a future where we can all live, eat with abundance, and feel the aromas, flavors, colors, and scents of life. Back to our origins, not living in a virtual world. We wish, in the end, to be able to lie on the hammock and rest from the struggles, and say it was worth it.
