Do integracionismo à interculturalidade: a legislação indigenista no Brasil e o processo de demarcação do território indígena Xucuru do Ororubá (1989-2005).

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the historical process of indigenous legislation in Brazil and, from that, examine its repercussions on the recognition, demarcation, and titling of the Xukuru of Ororubá Indigenous Territory (1989-2005), located in Pesqueira, Pernambuco. It intends to understand how the rights of indigenous peoples have been implemented over time in the country, especially considering the provisions enshrined in the Federal Constitution of 1988, in the Convention 169 of International Labor Organization and in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, from the perspective of the Xukuru of Ororubá’s case. Therefore, the concepts of “civilization”, by Norbert Elias, and “interculturality”, proposed by Catherine Walsh, were used as theoretical references. At the end, a booklet will be presented, to serve as a pedagogical tool to help undergraduate students in History to better understand the current indigenous law, as well as to raise reflections among them about its implementation in Brazil.
