They participated in the drafting of UN initiatives on indigenous peoples inclusion in the information society. They also organized the Jogos dos Povos Indígenas, or Indigenous Peoples' Games, in Brazil, the parallel Indigenous Social Forum, and the first World Indigenous Games, to be held in Brazil in 2015.
