Entre permanências, reparações e avanços: a questão indígena na Comissão Nacional da Verdade (CNV)

Abstract

The Military Dictatorship in Brazil represents a milestone toward the violence against indigenous people. In this study, I seek to understand the limits of Brazilian transitional justice concerning this population. Therefore, I analyze the disputes aroused by the process of including human rights violations against indigenous people in the National Truth Commission (CNV). Based on bibliographical dialogues with related works, as well as an analysis of the commission’s final report, I suggest the hypothesis that, despite some important breakthroughs, violations of the human rights of indigenous peoples still remain secondary among the initiatives regarding transitional justice in Brazil.
