THE SONG OF A THOUSAND VILLAGES: BRAZILIAN INDIGENOUS HISTORY AS PRESENT IN OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS AND ITS CONTEXTS

This work aims to analyze the history of indigenous peoples in Brazil through two approaches: identifying legislative documents that point to changes in the indigenous situation throughout the nation's history and analyzing the respective contexts that accompanied the promulgation of these documents. Understanding the context is important because it helps us comprehend why indigenous peoples were persecuted and made invisible in many ways, and why the struggle to occupy spaces (political, educational, artistic, and social in general) continues even today. Through a bibliographic and documentary study, we reflect on these facts and point out that, even with some victories achieved along the way, there is still much to be done, discussed, and developed for the benefit of the native peoples of Brazil.
