RETOMADAS INDÍGENAS EM UNIDADES DE CONSERVAÇÃO

O CONFLITO TERRITORIAL ENTRE A RETOMADA XOKLENG KONGLUI E A FLORESTA NACIONAL DE SÃO FRANCISCO DE PAULA, RS, BRASIL

Abstract

This article analyzes the entire process relating to the territorial conflict between the Xokleng Konglui Retaken and the São Francisco de Paula National Forest. It starts from the authors' ethical-political commitment to the community and analyzes the conflicts under fundamental categories and concepts for understanding the indigenous issue in relation to the environmental issue, derived from Geography, Anthropology and Political Ecology. Based on countless fieldwork, many experiences with the community and several participations in meetings, in addition to the reading and discussion of a series of works, the authors draw up a chronological account of the territorial conflict, going as far as the construction of coexistence agreements between the community of Xokleng Konglui Retaken and Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation (ICMBio), endorsed by National Foundation of Indigenous Peoples (FUNAI) and with the participation of the research and extension group that the authors are part of.
