Sunday, Feb 19<\/strong><\/p>\n

Missionaries and a representative of the State Secretary of the Indigenous People of Roraima went to the Association of the Indigenous People of the Land of Saint Mark (Associa\u00e7\u00e3o dos Povos Ind\u00edgenas da Terra de S\u00e3o Marcos), in the city of Boa Vista. They talked with the president of the association, to check the possibility of their having the Venezuelan Indigenous refugees of the Warao ethnic group live and work in the Saint Mark lands (terras S\u00e3o Marcos), which belong to the Makuxis Indigenous people.<\/p>\n

The association promised to define tomorrow a date for the Warao Chiefs to go to the association and to offer their proposals and ideas of work.<\/p>\n

Then the group went to the town of Cat\u00e1, to visit an Indigenous community, near the city of Boa Vista, where 1150 Uapixanas Indigenous people live. They talked with the Chief and presented the proposal of taking the Warao Indigenous people that are in the CRI \u2013 Center of Reference to the Immigrant \u2013 to spend a week-end in the place.<\/p>\n

The Uapixana Chief agreed in receiving the Warao. A visit was appointed for March 4 and 5. Then, the group was invited to present themselves in a local Catholic church, and to explain the reason of the visit. They agreed with the coming of the Warao for a week-end and said that both peoples will be able to learn with each other.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
