The Indigenous Peoples Memorial is a museum dedicated to Brazilian indigenous culture located in Brasilia, Brazil. It was designed by the architect Oscar Niemeyer and built in 1987. For many years, it was closed but, since 1999, it has re-established its activities.
In 2007, Marcos Terena took over the direction of the Indigenous Peoples' memorial. It was the first time that an Indian managed the memorial. The inauguration took place on the date on which the International Day of Indigenous Peoples is celebrated: 9 August. Terena became the main responsible for the collection, which, among other gems, keeps the collection of indigenous pieces by the former senator and anthropologist Darcy Ribeiro, acquired during his trips to the Amazon and on other expeditions around the country.
Marcos Terena took over the memorial without a pre-established budget, but "willing to make the museum work better". According to Marcos Terena, his initial actions would be to seek partnerships with other entities. "There is a great demand for people who want to sponsor intercultural events in the space," he said.
International Day for Indigenous Peoples was created by the United Nations. The date was chosen in 1995. According to the United Nations, there are, in seventy countries, 370 000 000 Indians, who preserve ancient cultures and are composed of different ethnic groups. In Brazil, about 220 indigenous peoples live.
The memorial was listed by the National Historical and Artistic Heritage Institute in 2007, the year in which the architect Oscar Niemeyer completed one hundred years of age.
