The Federal Public Ministry (MPF) has raised urgency with the government of Pará regarding a conflict that arose in the Turiwara indigenous village named 'Tete y Kukun' located in Tomé-Açu, northeastern Pará. Private security forces were reported to be present within the indigenous community, raising concerns about their role and intentions amidst escalating tensions. In response to this situation, law enforcement personnel have been deployed, including reinforcements from the Special Police Force (Tropa de Choque) as of Monday, September 9.

To address this issue, a meeting was convened that included representatives from the MPF, indigenous leaders from the Turiwara and Tembé communities, along with officials from Funai (National Indian Foundation), the Military Police, Federal Police, Civil Police, researchers from local universities, and a company involved in palm oil exploitation in the region. The meeting aimed to discuss the situation and find a resolution to the rising tensions created by the armed presence within the village and the implications it holds for the indigenous population's rights and safety.

Additionally, a letter had been sent to Governor Helder Barbalho by Federal Prosecutor Adriano Augusto Lanna de Oliveira on the evening of Saturday, September 7, urgently requesting the dispatch of state representatives to the area and seeking clarity about the unusual presence of armed securities. This incident highlights the ongoing struggles faced by indigenous communities in Brazil regarding land rights, security, and protection from outside economic interests, especially in a time where such disputes can lead to violence and violation of indigenous rights.
