Indigenous Tribes Protest Dam Construction In Brazil's Amazon

SAO LUIZ DO TAPAJOS, BRAZIL - NOVEMBER 27: A member of the Munduruku indigenous tribe wears a traditional head dress near the Tapajos River in preparation for a "Caravan of Resistance'" protest by indigenous groups and supporters who oppose plans to construct a hydroelectric dam on the Tapajos River in the Amazon rainforest on November 27, 2014 in Sao Luiz do Tapajos, Para State, Brazil. Indigenous groups and activists travelled by boat from communities along the river to express resistance to the proposed 8.040- MW Sao Luiz do Tapajos mega-dam, which is one of a series of five dams planned in the region that will flood indigenous lands and national parks. The United Nations climate conference is scheduled to begin December 1 in neighboring Peru. (Photo by Mario Tama/Getty Images)
