Abstract

The study seeks to contribute to the improvement of the inter-American process in contentious cases involving indigenous peoples, based on the effective application of the principle of peoples' self-determination regarding the realization of the right to ownership of their ancestral lands. Deductive and comparative methods were used, fostering the dialogue between Brazilian Constitutional Law and International Law of Indigenous Peoples.
