vicente cañasの英語

Vicente Cañas, S.J. (Albacete, October 22, 1939 — Mato Grosso, April 6, 1987) was a Spanish Christian missionary, a jesuit brother, who is credited with making the first peaceful contact with the Enawene Nawe Indian tribe in 1974. Afterwards, he lived with them for over ten years, adopting to their way of life and helping them with necessary medical supplies. Due to his help, the Enawene Nawe population rebounded from a low of 97 individuals to a population of over 430. Similar to Chico Mendes and Wilson Pinheiro, he died at the hands of cattle ranchers who are destroying the Amazon Rainforest.
