The Tekator Indigenous School is located in the northern region of the country, in the State of Tocantins, in the Municipality of Tocantinópolis, in the Rural Zone, on TO 126, located in Aldeia Mariazinha, 18 km from the municipality, belonging to the Apinajé Indigenous Territory. Currently the School Unit serves the level and modality in Elementary Education Early Years; in Elementary School Final Years; and in high school. The School offers specialized educational services. The school team chose the drawing by student Paula Tamkakre Ribeiro Apinajé from class 13.1 of High School. The drawing depicts the interconnection between the Apinajé indigenous community and the Tocantins River and its streams present in their lands in the indigenous territory. Traditional indigenous paintings adorn the scene, symbolizing the spiritual and cultural connection of the Apinajé people with water and nature. Streams represent not only vital sources of water, but they are also symbols of life, sustenance, leisure and fun and their essential natural ecosystems for the Apinajé indigenous community, with beautiful crystal clear and icy waters that delight to look at, and with the songs of birds, which brings peace and pure air of nature. This Theme describes water as a source of life to the Apinajé indigenous people

In a world where fresh water is an essential treasure for life. In this scenario we cannot ignore the crucial role of trees, being like silent sentinels, witnesses of the passage of time and guardians of the earth. As we face challenges such as pollution and water scarcity, we must remember the importance of preserving and honoring these guardians of fresh water. Because, only through respect and cooperation with nature can we guarantee a prosperous future for all beings who share this beautiful planet.

The drawning shows a hand holding a glass of water in the center, highlighting the importannce of water for life. Around the hand, first of all, there are people taking a shower and playing in the water that was 100% pure. Then a person drinking mineral water, showiing tthat the water was already 50% unfit for use. Later, a very sad person observes the water pollution. And fiinallyy, we have a cemetery that shows that it is not possible for life to exist without water. Therefore, the drawning portrays the process that is leading to the immiinence of lack of water for humanity in the near future.

This picture shows the importance of the water for tribes and communities that use water to water their crops, in fishing, as a means of transport through boats and canoes. Therefore, how human beings depends on it.

My drawing was inspired by my veins, how it guides the blood through my body, the water and the vein that gives life to our world. Without water we are nothing, water is life.

This drawing portrays the relationship between human beings and nature, marked by an exacerbated exploitation of natural resources. This relationship has had a direct impact on water resources, especially fresh water, which is extremely important for the supply of drinking water. In this way, this work invites us to reflect on our actions and the impacts they can cause for present and future generations

Water is present in different aspects of life, as well as in every part of planet earth, whether in the depths of caves or in the high skies. Planet earth or planet water? That is the question. Just like the Earth, whose surface is covered by approximately 70% water, human beings are also, for the most part, made up of this element that is so vital to life. In this sense, it would be reductionism to say that we live on the planet water, perhaps it would be a universe of waters.

The student from the class 62.02, Gustavo Araújo Paverini taked part in the competition with the draw 'The Water We Want'

Although planet Earth is also known as planet water, due to the large amount of water that covers the surface, it should be noted that fresh water is extremely scarce in the world, considering that only approximately 3% of the water on the planet is fresh. Demanding, therefore, that human actions in relation to nature be rethought, considering that many of the human practices have been harmful to the environment, consequently further accentuating the scarcity of fresh water on Earth.

For some thinkers, art depicts the beautiful. In this sense, this drawing seeks to show the beauty of water and how it colors the world, giving life to the different living beings on the planet. There are those who say that water is the primordial element of life. There are others who disagree. But it is undeniable that without it there would be no life, there would not be the coloration of the beings that depend on it. Thus, there is a need to preserve and conserve water so that the world can have a mosaic of colors that costs life.

The design represents planet Earth happy with its abundance of water. Symbolizing life, beaty and harmony between beings.

In this drawing I want to represent the pollution of rivers whose watercourses cross cities, I want to represent the difference in the banks of a river where its right bank is preserved because it belongs to indigenous land and its left bank is degraded and polluted because it is part of the perimeter urban. This tiver represents the river that passes through my city, it still exists because it is the boudary between the city and indigenous land. So we have a lot to learn from our native people as they are much more careful with our planet. Preserve our rivers!

Just as the human hand has put environmental issues in check, that same hand is capable of promoting a sustainable future. In this sense, human actions such as irregular dumping of solid waste, dumping of untreated sewage into waterways, etc. It has caused the scarcity of fresh water, triggering water stress in several parts of the world. However, it is necessary to think of alternative paths that contribute to a sustainable future.

This picture shows the importance of the water for tribes and communities that use water to water their crops, in fishing, as a means of transport through boats and canoes. Therefore, how human beings depends on it.

In a world where fresh water is an essential treasure for life.

This work deals with waste in the future, a scarcity, it portrays the daily livres of people wasting water, washing sidewalks, cars taking a shower with the shower open while running soap, brushing their teeth with the tap running, etc. All the water on our planet going down the drain.

Without water there is no life, so our very essence disappears.

Everyone has the right to life, but not everyone has the right to drinking water. With the disorderly growth of large metropolises and the industrialization process, the pollution of water resources has constantly accelerated over the decades. This reality raises concern among residents of communities that often do not have adequate infraestructure for water treatment, who in turn end up consuming polluted water. Futhermore, in the not too distant future this pollution could compromise the supply of water resources, thus harming future generations.

What was addressed in the work was the importance of water, it is one of the main elements on our planet and responsible for the functioning of the body.

The message conveyed by the artwork in its entirety represents the hope for a sustainable and inclusive future, where all members of society have access to water resources in a fair and equitable manner. This representation invites us to reflect on the role that each of us can play in building a more just and harmonious world. The lush vegetation present in the drawing reinforces the importance of environmental preservation. Trees and plants contribute to air and water quality, in addition to providing shade and shelter for animals. Together, all these elements build the drawing represents the hope for a future in which human society will live in balance with nature.

The drawing alerts us to the importance of environmental conservation, especially water, a vital resource for life on Earth. River pollution is a growing problem that affects not only water quality but also human and animal health. The drawing also criticizes predatory human action that has been destroying the environment. Water pollution is caused by a number of factors, including the discharge of untreated sewage, the excessive use of pesticides and fertilizers, improper waste disposal, and deforestation. It is essential that we all take steps to conserve water. We can start with simple actions, such as conserving water in our daily lives, avoiding the use of harmful chemicals, and separating garbage properly.

In the painting, I present the majestic Serras Gerais, a famous tourist spot in the state of Tocantins, Brazil. The intense rain portrays the benevolence and divine purity in a miraculous spectacle. Amidst the features, I also depict a portion of the landscape corroded by human touch, where the regrettable consequences extend to the horizon, manifesting in extensive erosion. This significant environmental impact has reached distant areas, and now the rivers in the region where I live carry the residues of this degradation. Under the cloak of dry, chilly winter nights, the flames of wildfires rise in the distance, mercilessly devouring vegetation in the heights of the Serras Gerais.

This drawing represents the beauty and harmony of the water cycle in nature. By creating the two intertwined triangles, I sought to depict the interconnectedness between the different stages of this cycle. In the upper triangle, you can see the radiant sun over the majestic mountains, and the river that springs from them, flowing vigorously through the mountainous scenery. This part represents the source and the initial course of the water. In the opposite triangle, I wanted to portray the transformation of the river water into an imposing waterfall. This waterfall feeds the river that cuts through the valley, represented by the two trees on its banks. It's a way of showing how water follows its course, always renewing and vitalizing the landscape around it. This work is more than a simple visual representation. It's a celebration of the water cycle and how it sustains all life on our planet. It's a reminder of the beauty and importance of nature and how we are all connected through it.

Life on Earth as we know does not exist without water. We need water if we want to have the possibility of a future as humanity. Without water, life dries up and there is nothing left that can be done.
