Leonel Brizola (3rd R), president of the Democratic Workers Party (PDT), speaks to the media crush alongside the coffin of Xavante indian chief Mario Juruna, during a special wake in the Congress July 18, 2002. Juruna was the only Brazilian indian to be a member of Congress, during the period of 1982-1986, as a member of the PDT. Juruna, who lived in the forest until he had first contact with outside civilization at the age of 17, was famous for carrying around a taping machine to record promises made by politicians. Juruna died at the age of 58 due to complications from diabetes, doctors said. REUTERS/Jamil Bittar JB/GN
