"The Shaman and the Guardian: Indigenous Lands and Deconstitution of Rights in Brazil".
indigenous lands; demarcation, Guyraroká
Based on the case study of the judicial annulment of the demarcation of the Guyraroká indigenous land, this thesis
describes a process of deconstitution of the territorial rights of indigenous peoples, guaranteed in article 231 of the
Federal Constitution. Guyraroká, located in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, had its territorial demarcation annulled
by the Supreme Court in 2014 based on the thesis of the temporal framework, according to which, only indigenous
people who prove to have been in possession of the lands demanded on the 5th October 1988 will have their territorial rights guaranteed. We will demonstrate that the temporal framework thesis is not an isolated fact and, more than a strong attack on the constitutional guarantees of these populations, it is characterized as the most recent link in 2 a chain of events that began in the Constituent Assembly itself and that, chained together, end up forming a real process that deconstructs indigenous territorial rights in Brazil.
