Brazil indigenous Guarani leader Nisio Gomes killed

This is yet another serious issue from Brazil and one you will not likely hear about from mainstream media like CBS/ABC etc Brazil as a whole has a very bad rep in dealing with its indigenous population I feel this issue should be called to light and given our voice but would like to know peoples opinions on this manor and a sugestions on how to effectivly do so if people feel the need to act.

Mr Gomes was shot in the head, chest, arms and legs and his body was then driven away by the gunmen

I don't know what to say...

The issues in Brazil with indigenous peoples has become very serious as we all know , with issues with the belo monte dam project and now news of farmers (ranchers) killing the leader of this group,(news the mainstream public will likely never hear) I admit to not knowing the full story but I do know this is becoming all to comon , I ask the question can we raise awareness of this issue and shame those that are to blame , I have seen issues where one person with the right words can make a huge diffrence in many peoples lives , I have also seen the responce of the brazil govement to outside Influence in protesting the belo monte dam (yes a seprate issue but an example none the less) if ignored this problem will grow into all out war betwean the indigenous population and goverment of Brazil and we all know the result of yet another conflict.

I heard about this on Twitter, but it doesn't really surprise me. There's been other terrorist acts perpretated on other environmentalists in South America for a very long time, just read about Chico Mendes, who was literally assasinated at his home by a rancher:
