Biography
Erwin Kräutler was born in Koblach, Austria, on 12 July 1939. Shortly after being ordained a priest on 3 July 1965, he became a missionary in Brazil and has spent his entire career there. He became a Brazilian citizen in 1978, retaining his Austrian citizenship.[1]
On 7 November 1980, Pope John Paul II appointed him coadjutor prelate of Xingu. Upon the resignation of Eurico Kräutler, his uncle, he became Prelate of Xingu on 2 September 1981.
Between 1983 and 1991 and again beginning in 2006 he served as President of the Indigenous Missionary Council of the Brazilian Catholic Church.
In 2004, the German think tank GLOBALART gave him their annual award.[2] In 2010 he received the Right Livelihood Award for his defense of and advocacy for the rights of indigenous peoples.[1] In the 1980s, he helped secure the inclusion of indigenous peoples' rights in the Brazilian constitution. He also plays an important role in opposing the Belo Monte Dam.
He retired at the age of 76 upon the appointment of his successor in Xingu on 23 December 2015.[3]
