Brazil purchases land for Indigenous Ava-Guarani displaced by 1970s dam

Brazil's government has purchased 107 hectares of land for the Ava-Guarani Indigenous community as part of reparations for human rights abuses caused by the Itaipu hydroelectric dam built in the 1970s, according to France 24. The government has committed to buying a total of 3,000 hectares for affected Indigenous communities whose ancestral lands were flooded by the project. The case represents a rare instance of a Latin American government formally addressing historical injustices tied to major infrastructure development. France 24 correspondent Jan Onoszko documented the land acquisition and its significance for communities still seeking full restitution decades after displacement.
