\u201cThere is no such thing as a Indigenous territory the place there aren\u2019t minerals. Gold, tin and magnesium are in these lands, particularly within the Amazon, the richest space on the earth. I\u2019m not entering into this nonsense of defending land for Indians\u201d<\/i>

\u201cEu j\u00e1 briguei com o Jarbas Passarinho aqui dentro. Briguei em um crime de lesa-P\u00e1tria que ele cometeu ao demarcar a reserva Ianom\u00e2mi. Criminoso.\u201d
\u201cI fought with Jarbas Passarinho [former minister of Justice] proper right here. I fought with him concerning the excessive treason he dedicated in demarcating the Yanomami reserve. Prison.\u201d<\/i>

\u201cYou’ll be able to make certain that if I get there [elected President of Brazil] there will probably be no cash for NGOs. If it\u2019s as much as me, each citizen may have a firearm in the home. There is not going to be a centimeter demarcated for Indigenous reservations or quilombolas.\u201d<\/i>
Estad\u00e3o, April 3, 2017<\/div>\n

\u201cThis unilateral coverage of demarcating Indigenous land by the Government will stop to exist. Any reserve that I can scale back in measurement, I’ll accomplish that. It is going to be a really large combat that we\u2019re going to have with the UN\u201d<\/i>
