Meeting in the Civil Defense
\n<\/strong>A meeting was held in the Civil Defense of Roraima with the presence of the missionaries, the Public Ministry, the Court of Law and representatives of several institutions. The issue of the refugees in the CRI \u2013 Center of Reference to the Immigrant was discussed.<\/p>\n

The possibility of the non-Indigenous refugees obtaining working card with greater speed, to facilitate their insertion in the labor market, was discussed.<\/p>\n

About the Indigenous refugees of the Warao ethnic group, there was a discussion about how their transference for Brazilian Indigenous lands will be made, as well as the expedition of Brazilian documents and the creation of a Warao association.<\/p>\n

A deadline of six months for the actions to be done, when the CRI will be closed.<\/p>\n

Another subject of the meeting was the creation of a fund for the CRI to continue with its activities during these six months, and also to give support to the Indigenous people when they are not in conditions to stay in Brazilian Indigenous lands.<\/p>\n

Visit to the S\u00e3o Marcos Association
\n<\/strong>In the afternoon, missionaries went with four Warao Indigenous representatives to visit the Sao Marcos Association, of the S\u00e3o Marcos Indigenous Lands Traditionally Occupied, of the Makuxi Indigenous people.<\/p>\n

The Warao presented their situation and expressed the need of a support for them to work in the land.<\/p>\n

What experience the Warao Indigenous people have was asked, and the possibility of the Warao families be dissolved among the communities already extant of the S\u00e3o Marcos Indigenous land. The subjects will still be discussed and decided by the Makuxi community.<\/p>\n

Then the group went to the Indigenous Secretary of the State of Roraima to talk about the subjects of the meeting. The map of the S\u00e3o Marcos Indigenous Land was shown to the Warao Indigenous representatives.<\/p>\n

The Indigenous representatives also got to know an area, near the Secretary of the Indigenous People, where an Indigenous artisanship fair is held in the week-ends.<\/p>\n
