Mariana Disaster: One Month after the Mining Dam Collapse
Zezão (José Krenak) from indigenous people Krenak, on the shore of the river Doce, between the cities of Resplendor and Conselheiro Pena. The Indigenous people Krenak, from Minas Gerais, have been historically affected by the advance of mining, farmers and ranchers who constantly invade their Indigenous Lands to exploit natural resources. The Doce River is the only source of water Krenak had available – They now need water to be brought in. Besides being a holy river in Krenak culture - it was destroyed by the disruption of Samarco Mining dam on November 5, 2015.

Mariana Disaster: One Month after the Collapse of the Dam
On November 5th, a dam containing mineral waste from Samarco (a Brazilian mining company controlled by Vale and British-Australian BHP) collapsed, flooding the region with mud. The firefighters and the civil defense stopped the search for survivors due to the risk of a new disruption in the Germano Dam. One month after the disaster, Greenpeace Brazil started a partnership with the group of researchers from GIAIA (a voluntary and independent group) to fill the gap of official information about the disaster caused by the dam.
