Chief Raoni faces cancer and continues in palliative care, says Institute

oglobo15 September 2026 at 01:17

Chief Raoni Metuktire, 94 years old, is facing cancer in the digestive system and has been receiving palliative care at his residence, in Peixoto de Azevedo, in Mato Grosso. The indigenous leader is accompanied by doctors and has home care alongside his family members.

The information was released by the Instituto Raoni, which asked for respect for the chief's privacy at this time. The institute stated that new bulletins on the leader's health will only be released when there are relevant updates and with family authorization.

Why this matters

Raoni is one of the most internationally recognized indigenous leaders, known for his work in defense of the Amazon and the rights of indigenous peoples. His health condition worries environmental and indigenous rights organizations, both in Brazil and abroad, given his history of mobilization against deforestation.
