This paper aims to promote a reflection and discussion about the Indigenous rights, their history, the main national and international legal landmarks, and the responsible institutions in Brazil, as a way of giving more visibility to the current debates in Brazilian scenario about this theme and to promote a collective knowledge. The methodology is on bibliographic and documentary research, which were started with the work during PhD in Social Science at the University of Salamanca in Spain about which we present this short piece of the thesis. The documentary research started about the current Brazilian legislation, and also went through the main international documents. It was revisited authors like Cunha and Barbosa (2018), Viveiros de Castro (2006), Krenak (2019), Terena (2021), Santamaría (2015), among others. The data analysis was worked and matured during the years 2020 and 2021, and the results were obtained through the research, the reading and the critical reflection of several documents revisited that compose the extensive legislation of the Indigenous peoples rights, in the search for knowledge about the theme giving emphasis to the main legal landmarks about the cause, the history and other issues related to the proposed theme. The considerations reveal the big challenges imposed on a constant struggle faced by these peoples to get their rights. Even with the achievements got since colonization, those rights are in constant attack, under several processes of violation by the noncompliance of the current legislation in their several cultural, environmental, territorial, healthy and education aspects.
