Protagonism of indigenous peoples the elaboration of an instrument of resistance and existence: elaboration, use and implementation of tools for the Prior Free and Informed Consultation of indigenous peoples of the Amazon region of Brazil and Colombia from 2000 to 2023

Protagonism, Prior Free and Informed Consultation, Instruments of Consultation, Autonomy, Self-Determination, Decoloniality.

The aim of the project is to carry out research on the protagonism of indigenous peoples in the development and use of Free and Informed Prior Consultation (CPLI) instruments in the Amazon region of Brazil and Colombia, from 2003 to 2023, to what extent do these instruments oppose state norms regulating consultation processes and how they contribute to the political and social insertion of indigenous peoples. The study will also investigate the challenges and opportunities that arise during the implementation of consultation protocols or other similar instruments by the indigenous peoples of Brazil and Colombia. The research is justified by the need to investigate consultation processes and whether they strengthen the participation and self-determination of indigenous peoples in decision-making that affect their lives and their territories, considering the difficulties faced by indigenous peoples in the implementation of the CPLI and in the recognition of the tools elaborated by Indigenous Peoples as a legitimate instrument. The study will also seek to understand how the changes caused by the capitalist and colonialist model affect the practices of social, political, economic and cultural organization of the indigenous peoples of the Brazilian and Colombian Amazon and the challenges caused by this model in the application of the CPLI.
