Territoriality and demarcation of indigenous lands in Tocantins: the history of the North Karajá

Abstract

This article intends to analyze the demarcation of the Xambioá Indigenous Land, located in Santa Fé do Araguaia, State of Tocantins. Our objective is to demonstrate how the Brazilian government, through indigenous policies, ignores indigenous territoriality and makes it difficult to regularize these lands, benefiting the interests of those agents who intend to economically exploit the spaces occupied by these original peoples.
