SUMMARY:

Mining activities have been present in Brazil since the colonization period. It has influenced social and economic transformations. Indigenous people have inhabited the Amazon and other regions since before Brazil's discovery. Their territories are known to be mineral sources and have inevitably attracted miners. Can property rights define the rules of the mining game? If there are land disputes, is there violence? In this paper, we aim to understand the relationship between property rights of the land, mining, and violence on indigenous territories. In the actual stage of our work, we highlight the correlations between them. We estimate a two-way fixed effect model using different data sources, with a rich set of controls and our variables of interest. Our sample period indicates no relationship between mining and property rights in indigenous territories. We find ambiguous results regarding the effect of mining on violence in indigenous territories, suggesting are results are not robust. We then suggest possible steps to improve our work
