A small
community of Brazilian Indians has won a land rights case at
Brazil’s Supreme Court that could have major repercussions
for indigenous people across the country.
The Court
has ruled that a 2014 judicial decision canceling the return
of some of their ancestral territory to the Guarani
community of Guyra Roka must be revisited because the
Guarani themselves were not involved in the process. Now,
they must be given a fair hearing before the Court votes
again on the return of their territory.
