Resumo Em 1831 foram revogadas as cartas régias de 1808 que permitiam fazer guerras justas contra os índios de São Paulo e Minas Gerais. Este artigo propõe analisar como se deu essa revogação, mostrando a relação entre os debates parlamentares realizados neste ano e as deliberações vindas da província de São Paulo. Com isso, vê-se que as relações conflituosas entre índios e paulistas nos sertões das vilas de Itapetininga e Itapeva nas primeiras décadas do Império tiveram repercussão no Parlamento, resultando, inclusive, na elaboração de um decreto imperial sobre o tema.

AbstractThis article analyzes the meaning of the indigenist policy between the end of 18th century and the beginning of 19th century, especially about the guerras justas authorized by d. João VI in 1808 against Indians from Minas Gerais and São Paulo. To understand this movement, is necessary to place it in an ampler context, starting by Diretório dos Índios in 1757 and ending by the process of Brazilian national formation in the 19th century, both related to the collapse of the Portuguese Empire.
