Hosted in the settlement of Piaraçu near the banks of the Xingu River, the purpose of the meeting was to engage in a constructive dialogue regarding the ongoing violation of basic human rights and the environmental disaster posed by the construction of the Belo Monte dam. This dam threatens to submerge 500 km² of pristine forest, home to an estimated 50,000 people from numerous tribes.
