Dolazim iz zajednice Javanava,
01:30
which is located in the state of Acre

koja se nalazi u državi Akre
01:32
in the Brazilian Amazon.

u brazilskoj Amazoniji.
01:35
Takes some days to arrive here.
12

Trebalo nam je par dana da stignemo ovde.
01:38
I just did the song
13
86969
2220
Upravo sam otpevao pesmu
01:41
to reconnect us
to the spirit of the rainforest.
to the spirit of the rainforest.
14
89213
3449
da bih nas povezao sa duhom prašume.
01:45
From immemorial time,
15
93173
2254
Još od prastarih vremena,
01:47
my people live in the Yawanawá territory.
16
95451
3610
moj narod živi na teritoriji Javanava.
01:51
We see this holistic way
17
99998
3469
Imamo holistički pogled
01:56
of how nature is.
18
104584
2271
na prirodu.
01:58
Nature, to us, belongs
to the whole of humanity.
to the whole of humanity.
19
106879
5539
Priroda, za nas,
pripada celom čovečanstvu.
pripada celom čovečanstvu.
02:05
And we Yawanawá see
20
113212
1937
I mi, Javanava, vidimo
02:08
the environment, the forest, as alive.
21
116276
2533
okruženje, šumu, kao živu.
02:11
But everything is always a challenge.
22
119807
3503
Ali sve je uvek izazov.
02:15
Mostly now, because I think
many of you know
many of you know
23
123673
3571
Naročito sada, jer, mislim
da mnogi od vas znaju
da mnogi od vas znaju
02:19
that the Amazon now is on fire.
24
127268
2856
da u Amazoniji bukti požar.
02:23
That affects all of us.
25
131186
2645
To utiče na sve nas.
02:27
Destroying the Amazon does not affect
just the indigenous people,
just the indigenous people,
26
135371
4555
Uništenje Amazonije ne utiče
samo na starosedeoce,
samo na starosedeoce,
02:31
because we are all connected.
27
139950
2316
zato što smo svi mi povezani.
02:34
Whatever we do in my community,
if I burn everything,
if I burn everything,
28
142578
3420
Ako radimo nešto u zajednici,
ako zapalimo sve,
ako zapalimo sve,
02:38
it's going to affect it here,
29
146022
1416
to će imati uticaj ovde,
02:39
when the snow comes here at Christmas.
30
147462
2377
kada sneg stigne za Božić.
02:41
If you pollute here,
31
149863
1413
Ako zagađujete ovde,
02:43
it's going to affect it when the rain
comes to my country.
comes to my country.
32
151300

to će uticati na kišu
koja će padati u mojoj zemlji.
koja će padati u mojoj zemlji.
02:48
I used to say we all belong
to the global village.
to the global village.
33
156981
4556
Nekada sam govorio
da svi pripadamo globalnom selu.
da svi pripadamo globalnom selu.
02:53
I used to say, Amazon belongs to humanity,
34
161561
4381
Govorio sam da Amazonija
pripada čovečanstvu,
pripada čovečanstvu,
02:57
and also that humanity needs to take care
as the indigenous do in the world.
as the indigenous do in the world.
35
165966
5850
i da ljudi moraju voditi računa
kao što to rade starosedeoci u svetu.
kao što to rade starosedeoci u svetu.
03:04
And for this reason,
36
172776
2728
I zbog toga,
03:08
today is a time to wake, unite us.
37
176474
5492
danas je trenutak
da se probudimo, da se ujedinimo.
da se probudimo, da se ujedinimo.
03:13
We Yawanawá are doing our part.
38
181990
1859
Mi, Javanava, činimo šta je na nama.
03:16
We take care of Mother Earth.
39
184331
2134
Brinemo se o majci prirodi.
03:20
And now, I will give to my wife.
40
188090
2190
A sada dajem reč mojoj ženi.
03:23
Laura Yawanawá: We are here
with our hearts crying.
with our hearts crying.
41
191844

Laura Javanava:
Došli smo ovde ranjenih srca.
Došli smo ovde ranjenih srca.
03:28
I am smiling here, but my heart is crying,
42
196511
3245
Smejem se, ali mi duša plače,
03:31
because a lot of our forests
are being destroyed.
are being destroyed.
43
199780
4084
jer naše brojne šume trenutno nestaju.
03:36
And I just want to give you a message.
44
204748
3055
I samo želim da vam prenesem poruku.
03:40
This crisis is giving
humanity two options.
humanity two options.
45
208328
5062
Ova kriza čovečanstvu daje dve opcije.
03:46
One option is you help to end,
to destroy and exterminate
to destroy and exterminate
46
214049
6617
Jedna opcija je da doprinesete kraju,
uništenju i nestanku
uništenju i nestanku
03:52
all our forests and all
our cultures that go with it.
our cultures that go with it.
47
220690
4591
svih naših šuma i svih
naših kultura koje su u njima.
naših kultura koje su u njima.
03:57
Or, we transform this crisis
into an opportunity
into an opportunity
48
225792
5537
Ili da pretvorimo ovu krizu u priliku
04:03
to empower indigenous people,
49
231353
2437
za ojačanje urođeničkih naroda,
04:05
to support indigenous people
50
233814
2166
za podršku urođeničkim narodima
04:08
and to save the rainforest
and their cultures.
and their cultures.
51
236004
4373
i za spas prašume i njihovih kultura.
04:12
And how can you do that?
52
240401
1698
A kako to da uradite?
04:14
We have, the Yawanawá,
we created a life plan,
we created a life plan,
53
242927
5896
Mi, Javanava, stvorili smo životni plan,
04:20
which is our strategic planning
54
248847
2905
a to je naš strateški plan
04:23
that tells us the steps
of how we want to secure our territory.
of how we want to secure our territory.
55
251776
5405
koji nam govori kojim koracima
da osiguramo našu teritoriju.
da osiguramo našu teritoriju.
04:29
We take care of about
200,000 hectares of rainforest.
200,000 hectares of rainforest.
56
257205
4126
Brinemo se o nekih 200 000
hektara prašume.
hektara prašume.
04:33
But now it's under threat.
57
261355
1733
Ali sada je ugrožena.
04:35
So this life plan shows the steps
for us to secure our land,
for us to secure our land,
58
263752
5945
Stoga nam taj životni plan pokazuje
kako da osiguramo našu zemlju,
kako da osiguramo našu zemlju,
04:41
our biodiversity,
59
269721
1880
naš biodiverzitet,
04:43
our culture, our education.
60
271625
2603
našu kulturu, naše obrazovanje.
04:46
I invite you all,
61
274688
2873
Pozivam sve vas,
04:49
I invite all companies,
62
277585
2365
pozivam sve kompanije,
04:51
I invite all governments,
all civil society,
all civil society,
63
279974
3992
pozivam sve vlade, celo civilno društvo,
04:55
to listen to indigenous peoples,
64
283990
1889
da slušaju starosedeoce,
04:57
to go back to our roots.
65
285903
2467
da se vrate svojim korenima.
05:00
We have been here
for many, many ... for centuries.
for many, many ... for centuries.
66
288776
5174
Ovde smo već mnogo, mnogo... već vekovima.
05:05
And we have been trying
to scream to the world
to scream to the world
67
293974
2857
I pokušavamo da vičući objasnimo svetu
05:08
that we need to protect
our territory, our nature.
our territory, our nature.
68
296855
2778
da treba da štitimo
našu teritoriju, našu prirodu.
našu teritoriju, našu prirodu.
05:11
And you never listen to us.
69
299657
1849
A vi nas nikad ne slušate.
05:13
Never.
70
301530
1166
Nikada.
05:14
I guess this crisis is teaching humanity
71
302720
3944
Pretpostavljam
da će ova kriza naučiti ljude
da će ova kriza naučiti ljude
05:18
that now you need to listen to us
72
306688
2286
da sada moraju da nas slušaju
05:20
and to support indigenous
peoples directly,
peoples directly,
73
308998
2809
i da neposredno podrže starosedeoce,
05:23
to support their initiatives directly.
74
311831
3040
da nesposredno podrže njihovu inicijativu.
05:26
So that's the message
that I would love to leave to you.
that I would love to leave to you.
75
314895
5444
Dakle, to je poruka
koju želim da vam ostavim.
koju želim da vam ostavim.
05:32
That indigenous people have the answer,
76
320363
2286
Da starosedoci imaju odgovor,
05:34
and if you want to save the Amazon,
77
322673
2261
i ako želite da spasimo Amazoniju,
05:36
we have to take action now.
78
324958
2690
treba da delujemo odmah.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Tashka and Laura Yawanawá - Leaders of the YawanawáChief Tashka Yawanawá and Laura Yawanawá represent the critical perspective often missed in the discussions about the future of indigenous people in Brazil: that of the indigenous people themselves.
Why you should listen
For Tashka and Laura Yawanawá, leaders of the Yawanawá people living in the Acre region of Brazil, engagement with the world begins with his people’s right to self-determination and self-worth.
The son of a former leader of the Yawanawá, as a boy Tashka witnessed the near annihilation of his culture by the New Tribes Mission and by the pressure of economic interests. He studied in the United States and visited other indigenous communities. With other tribal leaders in the Amazon, he is working to restore dignity, identity and a sustainable economic future to indigenous populations, founded on their own values, culture and definition of prosperity.
