Two indigenous tribes from the northern region of Brazil have joined forces to create a cryptocurrency to save their future and have access to a decent income after a lack of attention from that country’s government. The two tribes are known for their with ancestral rivalries. Source

This, if not mistaken is the first of its kind I will get to know about as people explore blockchain technology to fight government and interestingly join forces with rival tribes.
The claims from these tribes are government's lack of support especially during the Covid 19 pandemic, so a utility token OYX was created to alleviate hardship.

Without government help and having to fight against illegal mining, the covid-19 pandemic and the region’s grileiros [illegal landlords] the Surui Paiter and the Cintas-Largas form a group of about 4,000 people who struggle for fixed income and minimum living conditions. We were left on our own by the Federal Government during the coronavirus pandemic. Blockchain is our weapon today, and OYX is the means to wage and win this war without bloodshed. The Cinta-Larga and Surui people will not accept being subjugated by the policies of this government. Source

There are two outcomes to these, which are either it will bea success or a fail, I really hope it works for them. More of these actions can be replicated around the world giving people forces and means to fight and fend for themselves.

This blockchain's power being explored.

Cheers.

We owe it to ourselves to make Hive great
