The decisions taken by Jair Bolsonaro’s government since the first day of his mandate, in January 2019, have weakened the country’s environmental control policies and contributed to reduced inspection, increased deforestation on public lands and, consequently, the violation of the rights of indigenous peoples. There is a great diversity of contexts for isolated indigenous peoples in Brazil, from small groups to a single individual. These groups are the survivors of successive massacres and are threatened by the spread of disease, and for these reasons avoid contact with other agents at any cost. In addition to the need to ensure that their territories remain protected, the decision itself to live in isolation must be guaranteed in accordance with the already established instruments, including the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and Convention No. 169 of the International Labor Organization (ILO). Despite the traumatic history of contact, Brazil is the country with the largest number of isolated indigenous peoples in South America, as well as has the oldest public policy in terms of guaranteeing the rights of these peoples to self-determination. The measures presented in this article substantially undermine the protection of the rights of isolated indigenous peoples and obstruct the possibility of advancing or enforcing human rights which are internationally recognised and provided for in domestic law.

Docente de cursos de graduação e pós -graduação na Faculdades do Vale do Juruena -AJES, ministrando aulas nas disciplinas de Antropologia, Criminologia, Cultura Regional Matogrossense e Direito Penal Resumo: Os direitos indígenas assegurados na Constituição Federal de 1988 mudaram a abordagem sobre a questão indígena que até então era realizada. Nela, são reconhecidos aos índios usos, costumes e tradições, havendo o rompimento com o assimilacionismo das políticas brasileiras até então adotadas. Esses direitos, entretanto tem uma natureza jurídica especialíssima, não se confundindo com a matriz civilista que aparentemente os engendra, formando um verdadeiro estatuto jurídico de heterodoxos direitos constitucionais. Palavras-chave: Direitos Indígenas; Constituição Federal de 1988; Estatuto do Índio;The legal nature of the Indigenous Rights in the Federal Constitution of 1988 Abstract: The indigenous rights assured in the Federal Constitution of 1988 have changed the approach about the Indigenous issue which was performed until then. In the Federal Constitution usages, costumes and traditions are recognized to the Indians, in this way there is a break with the assimiliationism of Brazilian policies adopted to date. These rights, however, have a very special legal status. They do not confuse themselves with the civil matrix that apparently engender them. Thus forming a truly heterodox legal statute of constitutional rights. Keywords: Indigenous Rights, Federal Constitution of 1988, Statute of Indians IntroduçãoEste artigo tem como principal objetivo realizar uma análise constitucional de alguns institutos jurídicos, envolvendo o direito dos povos indígenas à luz da matriz constitucional que os produz, revelando suas características particulares e conformadoras de um heterodoxo instituto de Direito Constitucional.A legislação brasileira anterior à Constituição Federal de 1988, delineou-se dentro da perspectiva assimilacionista que entendia o índio em um processo de aculturação, isto é, esse deixaria de ter sua identidade étnica distinta e passaria a compor a sociedade nacional, que se
