A video released last week by human rights groups shows masked gunners opening fire on Makuxi Indians in Brazil after tribespeople began building shelters on a farming operation inside a national Indian reserve last month.

The situation is "an emblematic case" for Indians across Brazil, who regularly clash with developers, farmers, loggers, and other interests over land use, said Fiona Watson of Survival International.

The new footage—released by Survival International and the Indigenous Council of Roraima State (CIR)—shows people firing assault rifles and throwing homemade bombs at the Makuxi in the Raposa Serra do Sol Reserve.
