Expectation of a historic night
Killers of the Flower Moon is one of the works with the most nominations for the Oscar 2024, with 10 nominations (Best Picture, Direction, Actress, Supporting Actor, Costume Design, Soundtrack, Production Design, Editing, Cinematography, Original Song).
The film’s cast includes stars like Brendan Fraser, Leonardo DiCaprio, Lily Gladstone, and Robert De Niro.
Just like the biggest film award, football is a passion for many Brazilians, and thinking about this, Sambafoot recalls clubs that do not forget the indigenous peoples and have already paid homage to indigenous people.
Bahia
The Steel Squadron paid a special tribute to indigenous peoples in April 2019. In actions celebrating the “Indian Day,” Bahia released images with 46 names of people who fought for the historical recognition of indigenous people.
In addition to the tribute, players also took to the field in matches against Londrina – Copa do Brasil – and Bahia de Feira – state final – with the names of those honored.
Chapecoense
Chapecoense’s mascot is Índio Condá, which is also in the name of the stadium of the Santa Catarina green and white team. The figure that accompanies the club in games is a tribute to Vitorino Condá, an indigenous person who fought with colonizers for land for his people in Santa Catarina.
Guarani
The only Brazilian champion club located in the interior of the country also pays tribute to indigenous peoples with its mascot, Bugre.
Considered a prejudiced term for some indigenous people because it was used by colonizers in a hostile manner, Guarani redefined the offense as a symbol of resistance. While rivals provoked the green and white team’s fans, the entity stood firm and transformed the word into a positive nickname, just like other clubs such as rival Ponte Preta (Macaca), Palmeiras (Porco), and Flamengo (Urubu).
