First Secretary | Indigenous Peoples of the State of Para
Puyr Tembé, a leader of the Tembé Indigenous peoples from Alto Rio Guama in the Brazilian Amazon and the first Secretary of Indigenous Peoples of the State of Pará, is co-founder of The National Association of Indigenous Ancestral Women Warriors (ANMIGA) and is a lead protagonist of the new award-winning film “We Are Guardians,” which explores the work of Indigenous forest-guardians and Earth Defenders protecting the Amazon from illegal logging and mining.
