Resumo
The intense death of native peoples during the Brazilian colonial period has not been able to
prevent contemporary indigenous genocide, which occurs through daily massacres committed
by expanding the frontiers of agribusiness exploitation and capitalist development. In the last
decades, the increase in the number of representatives of agribusiness, a group called the
Ruralist Bench, in the Brazilian National Congress has been responsible for the speech that
legitimates anti-indigenous bills that promote the deregulation of indigenous territorial rights,
causing their extermination and fomenting a resurgence neocolonial assumptions in the
Brazilian political scene. In addition to the biased declarations of incitement to hatred against
indigenous peoples, the ruralist discourse in favor of neo-extractivism works to defend the
latifundia, the indiscriminate use of pesticides and slave labor, validating the massacres
provoked by the invasion of traditional territories and the conflicts which raise the death rate of
indigenous peoples in Brazil, in the same way that it promotes the anthropization of
biodiversity. To answer this problem, the research uses the dialectical and qualitative
methodological approaches, taking as reference Discourse Analysis and the competent
discourse, to point out the relation between the performance of the Ruralist Bench in the
National Congress and the contemporary indigenous genocide. The first section elaborates a
historical panorama with the purpose of identifying the main confrontations of the native
peoples by the territory, in the face of the Portuguese territorial invasion in the end of century
XV, until its recognition by the Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil of 1988 and
the conservative modernization of the agribusiness. The second section analyzes the ruralist
discourse, mainly from the systematization of the members of the National Congress, and from
its legal propositions that legitimize neoextractivist capitalist economic interests. The third
section highlights the faces of contemporary indigenous genocide and exposes the necessary
promotion of new epistemological and legal paradigms aimed at plurality, centrality of life and
the inclusion of new subjects of collective rights. The research presents the set of violence and
violations present in the discourse of the Ruralist Bench, its political and economic influence
in the Brazilian National Congress, as well as the prejudices for the realization of the indigenous
constitutional rights that guarantee democratic stability in the country.
