There are thousands of tribal people on Earth, many of whom have seen
             their homelands destroyed (for example, Native American Indians), and many
             of whom are currently threatened with the destruction of, or eviction from,
             their homeland. This is a serious problem for humanity's collective
             We will now discuss some case histories, mostly taken from Survival
             International data (Survival International is a charity whose aim is to
             protect and conserve tribal lands for indigenous communities).
             The Awá of Brazil are Brazil's last nomadic tribe, who live in the
             forests of the Eastern Amazon (www.survival-international.org/awa). These
             forests, as with much of South America's tropical forest, is being
             destroyed at an incredible rate, by logging companies, and by large farming

             meaning that their nomadic lifestyle is threatened, and also that
             potentially, the Awá themselves are in danger of being wiped out altogether

             The Awá turned to a nomadic lifestyle following the European invasions

             been specially constructed by the Brazilian government, in order to protect
             themselves against the second wave of destruction wrought by European
             invaders (www.survival-international.org/awa). Attacks by Western ranchers
             and settlers against the Awá are well documented, and many of the remaining
             Awá are survivors of massacres, and are severely traumatized by their
             experiences (www.survival-international.org/awa). As one Awá individual
             says, on the Survival webpage, "I hope when my daughter grows up she won't
             face any of the difficulties I've had. I hope everything will be better for
             her. I hope she will grow up very healthy. I hope it won't be like in my
