Nowadays, it remains the colonization of the look to such issues, although by the force of political-culture of indigenous resistance movements, some ruptures make survive contemporary and past life forms, it puts in evidence the centrality of this subject in Brazil. The wide visibility in 2012 of Kaiowa and Guarani struggles over the land and the “discovery” of Figueiredo Report and its inclusion in the National Commission of the True (Comissão Nacional da Verdade) are examples of it.
