Misleading (and very old photo- 2011, I believe). As far as I know, these companies never offered them money in exchange for permission to build dams. The dams were built anyway. What they were offered was a little money due to the displacement of their people that the dams caused.

Here's an update, including a picture of the same person in the OP behind bars.

The real meat of that article is this:

"The irony of Belo Monte is that the compensation doled out to indigenous communities during the dam’s construction – up to $10,000 dollars per month per indigenous group for two years – did much of the damage: the sudden surge in ready cash prompted a rush by rural communities to embrace modern consumer goods and services. As people were uprooted, there was an unprecedented rise in alcoholism, prostitution and inter-tribal feuds"
