The proposal changes the Statute of the Indian (1973) and updates PEC 215, allowing the suppression of indigenous rights guaranteed in the Constitution, among them, the permanent possession of their lands and the exclusive right over their natural resources. (2/5)
The project places demarcations under the so-called “time frame” rule, whereby only indigenous peoples who were in possession of their land on the promulgation of the Constitution (1988), or were in a legal dispute then, would have land rights direct with invaders. (3/5)
