South America has never really been a bastion of civil rights and good non corrupt governance, and as such many of the countries there tend to ignore the rights of the indigenous peoples and do whatever they feel like doing.
Remember when this case was first brought up in story and the members of the Team said the only reason they were being sent there was because the Brazilian member of the UN is in the pocket of some industry there.
Yeah those industrialists tend to not give a shit about native rights if they don't make some money from that.
The Brazilian government is most likely severely corrupt and in the pockets of the rich who don't care about native rights and the government also wasn't worried about what the tribes would do as they don't have armies or modern weaponry so they thought they were safe from retaliation from the tribes.
Now the governments have to take what the tribes want seriously and will have to give them something that isn't just some minor token, but something actually substantial, because the tribes now have people with super strength who can destroy their military bases just by using one of their enhanced tribesmen and make most of their weaponry useless, unless they use some chemical/biological weapons and that can lead to them getting in trouble with the UN.
Previously they had no reason to consider the complaints of the natives as more than a minor nuisance, now they need to take them seriously or risk destruction.
The best deal that I think both sides could take from this would be the various companies pay the tribes for what they want to do with the land a substantial amount and not just give them some measly pennies even though the money they made can go into the millions at least, or try to bribe some officials to look the other way while they exploit the land and the native population and the government protects the rights of the tribes from those that would seek to exploit them, this also has the benefit of lowering the overall corruption of the government as they would be less inclined to allow violations to occur if they risk having their cities destroyed. Also making sure to lower the pollution that happens in the tribes territory from outside sources.
This can prevent millions from having to relocate from their homes, thus damaging the economy on a potentially global level, and the natives will finally have a say in how they run their land without them demanding millions leave the only homes they have ever known.
