A concepção de Território e sua importância na gestão de Terras Indígenas

Abstract

The concept of territory and its full clarification with indigenous communities has contributed to a better organization of these populations in the search for better alternatives for the environmental management of Indigenous Lands. The article works to reveal the main conceptions of the territory, mainly in what corresponds to the indigenous perception of their own lands, the need to demarcate them in an institutional and legally supported way. Therefore, the research refers to the Política Nacional de Gestão Territorial e Ambiental de Terras Indígenas established by Federal Decree No. 7747/2012. It focuses on its current applicability and interprets it through a critical view of the indigenous reality in Brazil today, considering how these norms can be improved through the conception of territory by the indigenous population.
