DIREITO INDÍGENA: UMA ABORDAGEM NA DEMARCAÇÃO DAS TERRAS INDÍGENAS DO ALTO RIO NEGRO-AM

Abstract

This paper presents a legal analysis of the process of demarcating Indigenous lands in the Alto Rio Negro, highlighting legal implications, administrative challenges, and constitutional rights. The objectives include examining relevant legislation, assessing the role of FUNAI and other agencies, identifying legal challenges faced by Indigenous communities, and analyzing concrete cases of demarcation in the region. Historically, the Yanomami have fought to defend their territories, which are spaces of resistance and struggle. Since the 1970s, Indigenous populations in Latin America have gained international visibility in their territorial rights claims, facing land-related conflicts. The climate crisis emphasizes the need for ecological changes and highlights "Indigenous ecology" as a counterpoint to neoliberal ecology, underscoring the importance of ancestral knowledge for global sustainability. Keywords: Demarcation, Time Frame, Alto Rio Negro.
