Our frame is ancestral! We have always been here!

Ancestrality is not just a connection to the past—it is a living bond! It is a deep connection that reveals how ancestors are present guides, providing direction and protection, maintaining balance between the visible and the invisible worlds.

In Brazil, the fight against the Time Frame thesis is a battle for the continuity of our existence. Our struggle is our (re)existence. Indigenous peoples not only carry knowledge but also the responsibility of protecting what their ancestors preserved: the land, the waters, biodiversity, and traditions.

In a world facing environmental and social crises, we are guided by our roots, which show us that the key to a sustainable future lies in ancestral wisdom.
