The president of minister determined this Sunday (May 31, 2026) that the federal government draw up a plan in 90 days to disintrude from the Cachoeira Seca Indigenous Land, located in Pará.
The territory was demarcated in 2016, but faces problems of illegal deforestation, land grabbing, violence, in addition to the impacts caused by the construction of the Belo Monte Hydroelectric Plant.
According to the decision, the Union must present a plan for the removal of non-indigenous people from the area. The document must contain a schedule for the departure of invaders and provide for the compensation of bona fide occupants identified by the (National Foundation of Indigenous Peoples).
Fachin also demanded the creation of a governance committee to ensure the protection of isolated and recently contacted indigenous people. Macaws are part of this group.
The plan must also evaluate compliance with the environmental conditions agreed in return during the construction of Belo Monte.
The decision was motivated by an action filed by the (Association of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil). Minister Fachin classified the situation at the Cachoeira Seca IT as an example of violation of indigenous rights.
“The measures relating to the Cachoeira Seca IT provide concreteness and material coherence so that judicial protection reaches the reality in which state omission manifests itself, preventing the seriousness experienced by the Arara people from continuing”he stated.
