Land and forest are inherent in indigenous culture. The loss of territory is equivalent to the loss of their culture, traditions, identity. Mechanized agriculture today raises an unequal fight against indigenous communities in Paraguay, condemned to their last banishment, or they are converted into pawn groups from their own land or forced to bring their last dispossession. In the departments of Alto Paraná, Canindeyú, Caaguazú and Itapúa, diverse communities known to us silent and violent struggle to preserve their culture, to the relentless advance of "progress".
