NYTIMES/ Director James Cameron, rich and famous after the worldwide success of his movie "Avatar," is now speaking out loudly against the environmental destruction threatening the world's indigenous peoples. After a recent trip to the Amazon, he has focused his anger on the proposed Belo Monte dam. Belo Monte would be the world's third largest dam and flood hundreds of square miles in the Amazon while drying-up 60-miles of the Xingu River and devastating the indigenous communities that live along it.
