This research aims to explore the history of struggles of the Apinajé people both in the
process of territorial demarcation and in its current reconfigurations. Considering that even
indigenous lands constitute a fundamental issue for the perpetuation of knowledge and ethnic
cultural ways, as they are relationships centered on the body-territory (BANIWA;
KAYAGNAG, et,al, 2023), their integrity and management are still threatened on a daily
basis. To fulfill this purpose, I began the research with the bibliographic review method
through analyzes of historical documents, legislation, jurisprudence, academic articles and
reports from indigenous and non-governmental organizations. This research is justified
because it is an urgent issue, regarding the rights of indigenous peoples, which is the fight for
territory, whether in the form of demarcation or in the form of maintaining its
post-demarcation integrity. This study/research aims to contribute and explore the dynamics
involved in land demarcation, and the challenges faced by indigenous communities in the face
of resistance strategies developed over the centuries and mainly point to the dynamics and
disputes subsequent to demarcation. May the results of this study enrich the academic and
political debate on the rights of indigenous populations, offering reflections on the struggle
and resistance of these communities and the preservation of the cultural and territorial identity
of indigenous communities in a global context of changes and challenges.
