Let the Nicaraguan government know that people are paying attention to what is happening there, and the Nicaraguan government must stop the invaders immediately. You can contact the Nicaraguan embassy in your country and demand that the persecution of the Mayagna immediately stop, as well as demand that the Nicaraguan government protect the Mayanga and remove the colonizers who have taken over the Mayangna lands in the Bosawas Biological Reserve.
