Federal Public Ministry holds public hearing on identification and delimitation of indigenous land in Santarém

The Federal Public Ministry is hosting a public hearing to discuss the identification and delimitation of Munduruku and Apiaká Indigenous Lands in Santarém, Brazil.

The Federal Public Ministry (MPF) and the National Foundation for Indigenous Peoples (Funai) are organizing a public hearing to foster dialogue regarding the identification and delimitation of the Munduruku and Apiaká Indigenous Lands located in the Planalto region of Santarém, Pará. Scheduled for Friday, the event aims to bring together civil society, state agencies, and public entities to gather valuable input that will support the demarcation process.

The public hearing is set to take place at the auditorium of the State Public Ministry of Pará and is expected to facilitate meaningful discussions among participants. By incorporating social manifestations, analyses, and debates, the MPF intends to compile crucial information to assist in the indigenous land demarcation efforts. This initiative reflects a broader commitment to engage stakeholders in the complex process of recognizing and securing indigenous territories in Brazil.

The contributions gathered during the hearing will be instrumental in drafting a Circumstantial Report, which is pivotal for advancing actions taken by the MPF in relation to indigenous rights and land sovereignty. This public hearing not only serves as a platform for dialogue but also underscores the importance of collaboration in addressing the pressing issues surrounding the recognition of indigenous lands in the region.
