Indigenous territorial rights are guaranteed by the 1988 Federal Constitution of Brazil, particularly in Article 231, which recognizes the original rights of Indigenous peoples over the lands they traditionally occupy. However, several legislative setbacks and institutional omissions continue to undermine the effectiveness of these guarantees. This article aims to analyze the main legal and social challenges faced by Indigenous peoples in the Amazon, focusing on the violations caused by illegal mining, forest fires, and the State's inaction. The study is qualitative in nature and is based on bibliographic and documentary review. The results reveal contradictions between the constitutional text and the current reality of Indigenous communities, emphasizing the urgent need for effective public policies and social engagement in defense of human rights and environmental protection.
