THE SURROUNDINGS
The property is located on the border of the Tupinambá Indigenous Land of Olivença - This Indigenous Land occupies an area of 473.760.000 m², corresponding to 47.376 hectares, distributed among the municipalities of Buerarema, Ilhéus and Una, a region originally occupied by Tupinambás Indians.
But what is an Indigenous Reserve? They are land donated by third parties, acquired or expropriated by the Union, which are destined to the permanent possession of the indigenous peoples.
The Union may establish, in any part of the national territory, areas for possession and occupation by indigenous peoples, where they may live and obtain means of subsistence, with the right to the usufruct and utilization of natural wealth, guaranteeing the conditions of their physical reproduction and cultural.
The Tupinambás live in small family units distributed in an area that covers both the sea coast and a region of Atlantic forest to the north and south of the district of Olivença. Notwithstanding the demarcation of lands originally occupied by indigenous peoples, it is one of the main obligations imposed on the Brazilian State by the Federal Constitution of 1988, like many others, is pending land regularization.
Currently, the National Congress examines the approval of the Proposed Amendment to the Constitution - PEC 215, whose main issues are: Transferring from the Executive to Congress, the decision-making power on the demarcation of indigenous lands, quilombolas and environmental conservation areas; Prohibit the expansion of land already demarcated; Guarantee indemnities for landowners who have been demarcated. As it is known, the lack of resources to pay the indemnifications, besides justifying postponements, removes the demarcation.
