| description | Since the 1988 Constitution, Indigenous peoples in Brazil have been granted extensive land rights. In the Amazon, those rights have been largely implemented and large Indigenous territories have been recognized. Those account today for more than 22% of the Amazon region, or more than 1,1 million km². The Indigenous peoples of the Amazon are therefore facing a new situation. They must find the balance between the preservation of their lands, new social needs and external pressures. In this article, we try to analyze what are the factors underlying the sustainability of those Indigenous territories. To that end, we first expose the current situation of the Indigenous territories of the Brazilian Amazon regarding land tenure, as well as social and demographic aspects. We then analyze the public policies and external pressures as crucial factors for their vulnerability. Last, we explore the economic alternatives available to Indigenous peoples in the current context. |
