Abstract:
The article deals with the legal relationship between the official Brazilian legal order and the unofficial ones, arising from the confrontation between the national society and the indigenous ethnic groups of the country. Within this conflictive relationship, legal Pluralism, understood as the coexistence of two or more legal systems that are effective, concomitantly in the same space-time, arises, starting from the Brazilian Constitution of 1988. Despite the constitutional advances, the underlying pluralism, has not taken into account the assurance to the indigenous peoples of the Amazon of the guarantee of their rights.
