Os retrocessos dos direitos indígenas às terras tradicionalmente ocupadas frente ao atual contexto sociopolítico do Brasil

Abstract

This study discusses the pathways of indigenous rights throughout Brazil's legislative history and how the suppression of their rights to traditionally occupied lands has affected the lifes of so many indigenous communities, as well as their lifestyles, customs and languages. Although today indigenous peoples are protected by the Constitution of 1988 and guaranteed by Decree nº. 1,775/96 the proper regularization of the demarcation of their lands, these peoples continue to suffer from various legislative invasions and setbacks. We argue about the importance of indigenous lands for the socioeconomic and sustainable development of each people, as well as the reproduction of their culture. We also highlight the retrogressive movements that occurred in recent years, such as the establishment of the temporal framework of occupation and, recently, the verbal attacks by the current Chief Executive. For this, the deductive method and the bibliographic research were used, using as much doctrines about the subject, as researches of government institutions and internal legislation.
