Displaced by the construction of the Belo Monte Dam from their villages along the Xingu River, indigenous children play cricket on the street at night in a housing project for displaced families in Altamira, Brazil. As many as 40,000 people were displaced by the construction of the dam and flooding of the river. Because the area where they were resettled is outside the city and has no phone service and little transportation, many people have moved away temporarily or permanently.
