Brazil's indigenous tribes are fighting a new law that could hand their land over to big business.
Here in Brazil, we have different indigenous tribes spread throughout the country and this civilization has been fighting with to government to keep their lands.
In the past, lands belonged to indigenous tribes were demarcated to preserve this civilization. This operation was written in Brazil Constitution and since then indigenous group have been living in your own culture.
A few years ago, some politicians have been trying to approval a new law to demarcate indigenous lands again. The politicians claim that these lands are rich in natural resources and need to be explored for government and industries.
We have others resources to explore here in Brazil. Indigenous tribes are a kind of treasure for us and we need to preserve this civilization. It is obvious that the government has economic interests instead of research a new type of natural resource.

Brazil's indigenous tribes are fighting a new law that could hand their land over to big business.
Here in Brazil, we have different indigenous tribes spread throughout the country and this civilization has been fighting with tohe government to keep their lands.In the past ('in the past' implies that the lands are no longer demarcated in this way at the moment. You could say 'X years ago', 'In the 60s/70s/80s' etc.), lands that belonged to indigenous tribes were demarcated to preserve this civilization. This operation ('rule'? 'these borders were'?) was written in the Brazilian Constitution and since then indigenous groups have been living in your their own culture.
A few years ago, some politicians have been trying to approvale a new law to demarcate indigenous lands again (you can either say 'A few years ago, some politicians tried...' or 'For the past few years, some politicians have been trying to...'. The present perfect continuous ('X has been Y-ing.') is used when the activity is still going on, whereas 'a few years ago' refers to a time in the past that has now ended.). The politicians claim that these lands are rich in natural resources and need to be explored for government and industries.
We have others resources to explore here in Brazil. Indigenous tribes are a kind of treasure from for us and we need to preserve this civilization. It is obvious that the government has economic interests in mind (I corrected this because a government always has economic interests. If you add 'in mind', it means that they are motivated by economic interests in this particular context.) instead of research into a new type of natural resource.
Great job, and good luck!

Hi Rogerio,
Thank you for sharing about the indigenous Brazilian tribes. I believe that these tribes have a certain wisdom and relationship they have with their lands.
(1) A civilisation is a group of people living in a geographical area, have a certain culture, and a certain complex societal system (Eg the Greek civilisation, the Aztec civilisation, the Mayan civilisation etc). In contrast, tribes have a more traditional social structure and may not span across wide geographical areas.
