Demarcation Diaries
30 September 2001
 Janine (Team A) : FUNAI, the Government body responsible for demarcation, has
contacted Greenpeace and demanded that we stop the
demarcation of Deni lands immediately. more
Bryan (Team A) : We will restructure some
of our teams, and dive back in. That is how it feels, like I will be
diving back in, completely submerged and isolated in the trees. It is
true that if I wander 10 yards from the group, I am lost, the forest
is loud, I can hear no one except the forest life. Needless to say,
we stick together. I am a visitor meant only to see, not to touch. I
can agree to those rules.

Note: Volunteers and the Deni work in three different teams. Team C (Cuniuã Team) works by boat following the Coxodoã, Cuniuã and Canaçã rivers, the natural boundary of the Deni territory along the eastern perimeter. Teams A and B started at the north west tip, working away from each other, assisting the Deni in cutting a 1.5 meter path through the jungle and erecting signs identifying the Deni territory.
