Brazilian Amazon Groups Invade Site of Dam Project

By ALEXEI BARRIONUEVO Published: October 27, 2011

BUENOS AIRES — Waving bows and arrows and dressed in war paint, hundreds of members of indigenous communities in the Brazilian Amazon invaded the construction site of the Belo Monte hydroelectric dam on Thursday.
