As correlações entre os modelos hegemônicos de desenvolvimento territorial e as políticas públicas direcionadas aos povos indígenas

Abstract

From the multiple scales of indigenous policy, we can see that the organized struggle conducted by indigenous peoples towards the realization of their territorial rights is configured as the main means of opposition to the combined forces of the State and of the private sector, historically, the main articulators of the progressive land concentration in Brazil. Based on this problematization, the following text aims to present the synthesis of our reflections on the hegemonic models of territorial development and public policies aimed at indigenous peoples in Brazil. In effect, we understand that, regardless of whether they incorporate specific demands or whether they are inserted in universal social programs, around public policies gravitate issues that are of priority to the interests of indigenous peoples, many of which are strategic not only for Brazilian society, but for humanity, as well as those of ethnic-cultural and environmental relevance.
