Description
Representatives of Indigenous communities march in front of Brazil's Congress against the "Marco Temporal," demanding the right to protect their lands and reservations.
The "Marco Temporal" is a legal doctrine backed by Brazil's agribusiness sector, asserting that only lands occupied by Indigenous peoples as of October 5, 1988—the date of the Brazilian Constitution’s enactment—should be legally recognized and demarcated as Indigenous territory.
