In this episode, we see how, during the dictatorship, indigenous peoples were targeted by removals, massacres and epidemics in the name of development and national security. Businessmen, bankers, landowners and government agents allied themselves to "pacify" the unruly indigenous people and accelerate their "integration" into national society. By removing them from their lands, they built roads and hydroelectric plants, and set up economic activities such as agriculture and mining, generating pollution and destruction. On the other hand, the film also portrays the struggle of backwoodsmen, anthropologists and missionaries, the emergence of the unified indigenous movement and the challenges of the democratic period. The narrator is Douglas Krenak, whose family was exiled from their sacred territory during the dictatorship.
