Shaman Pedro Leite: "Previously we had to dance Toré at night, hiding in the forest." For many years, the Catholic Christianity was imposed on these people and prevented them from performing their religious services. Currently, this movement is led by evangelicals that increased by 42% the number of Indians converted in the last 10 years in Brazil. Today, in Serra do Arapuá there are works to rescue the indigenous culture in village schools.
