Interview with Marcelo Zelic: about the Figueiredo Report, the indigenous people in the national truth commission and the defense of human rights

Abstract

Marcelo Zelic, active defender of indigenous rights, with intense participation during the work of the National Truth Commission, was in Curitiba in May 2017, at the event promoted by the Museum of Archeology and Ethnology at the Federal University of Paraná (MAE / UFPR), during the 15th Museum Week. The motto suggested by IBRAM (Brazilian Institute of Museums) was to say the unspeakable in museums, from which, locally, the theme developed was precisely violence against indigenous peoples. Thus Marcelo's participation was fully justified. Helpful, always crowded with documents on his electronic supports, which he generously distributed, Marcelo also shared his ideas with us, in the interview that is published here.
