Brazil: Indigenous people rally for week-long protest in Brasilia over land & cultural rights

Thousands of Indigenous people have gathered in the Brazilian capital, for a five-day protest defending their land and cultural rights.
It’s against what they say are unfulfilled promises by President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, to protect reserves and expel land-grabbers from their territories.

Al Jazeera’s Monica Yanakiew went to Brasilia and spoke to some of the Indigenous protesters.
