It has been reported by the tribe that crop production has brought pesticides and machinery that has damaged their health, as well as restricting them to a small area that has prevented them from hunting and practicing their traditions.{{citation needed|date=June 2017}} Also, in January 2003, opposition from the tribe had led to the killing of their chief Marcus Vernon by ranchers.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Ryan Villarreal |date=8 December 2012 |title=Deadly Ethanol: Brazil's Sugarcane Farms Take Toll On Indigenous People |url=http://www.ibtimes.com/deadly-ethanol-brazils-sugarcane-farms-take-toll-indigenous-people-912116 |website=International Business Times}}</ref> In 2012, survivors were requesting Bunge follows the example of the company [[Raízen]], which agreed to stop the sourcing of sugarcane from the area.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Survival International |title=Shell scraps controversial biofuels plan after Brazilian Indian protest |url=http://www.survivalinternational.org/news/8399 |website=survivalinternational.org}}</ref>
