dc.description.abstractInstitutional controls on mining are weak. This report results from a participatory study carried out to assess mining impacts and to develop proposals for more effective Amerindian engagement with the mining sector. The consultation process comprised two national workshops of a National Indigenous Advisory Committee, four regional consultations in Amerindian communities, a field visit to mine sites in the Matthew’s Ridge region, interviews with key stakeholder groups and Government officials, and a literature review. Brazilian miners and syndicates are centrally involved in small, medium and large-scale mining ventures. There is much illegal traffic across the frontier. The prostitution of Amerindian women is rife in mining camps and rapes are widely reported.en
