Brazil's Congress overturns presidential veto on bill limiting Indigenous land claims, setting up a clash at the Supreme Court. Indigenous groups support the veto, while the bill is backed by the farm lobby. Lawmakers vote to annul the veto, which limited claims to ancestral lands. The issue is expected to be decided by the Supreme Court, which previously ruled the deadline unconstitutional. Lula vetoed the bill, a major victory for Indigenous people defending land rights threatened by the agricultural frontier.
