Justiça restaurativa para povos e comunidades tradicionais: reflexões em torno de caso envolvendo a TI Katxuyana-Tunayana e o TQ Cachoeira Porteira

Abstract

This research starts from the observation of the dynamics and complexity of territorial conflicts that present consequences of agrarian, land, socio-environmental nature, minorities, among others, as well as the observation of the territorial ordering and power relations that permeate conflict scenarios in the Amazon. Through the study of the case involving the overlap of the Quilombola Territory of Cachoeira Porteira and the Katxuyana-Tunayana Indigenous Land, I sought to analyze the conflict through the theoretical framework of Restorative Justice in order to answer the following question: To what extent do the practices adopted in the case involving the Can TI Katxuyana-Tunayana and TQ Cachoeira Porteira indicate the appropriateness of using restorative practices in dealing with conflicts involving traditional peoples and communities in the Amazon? The use of theoretical methodological sport of social sciences, involving contributions from social anthropology, political geography and law, and also the bibliographic-documentary survey of literature pertinent to Restorative Justice, socio-environmental conflicts, territorialities and power relations developed to build the interdisciplinary approach of this research and to achieve the general objective: to investigate the conditions and possibilities of applying the restorative approach in the management and treatment of conflicts involving traditional peoples and communities in the Lower Amazon Region. Upon completing this research, I ratified and rectified hypotheses, presenting notes at the end on the restorative approach in conflict scenarios involving traditional peoples and communities. In summary, it is concluded that Restorative Justice is not only ‘for’ traditional peoples and communities, but ‘comes’ from them. These are people who have significant experiences in managing and dealing with their conflicts, experiences that must be heard, valued and referenced.
