Resumo

Portuguese Abstract: Os indios, legalmente, poderiam participar da vida politica do Estado brasileiro, bastando preencher as condicoes de elegibilidade, como ter a nacionalidade brasileira, estar no pleno exercicio de direitos politicos, alistar-se eleitoralmente, afiliar-se a partido politico e ter idade minima requerida para o cargo pleiteado. Entretanto, seria esse direito politico exercido de forma plena no Estado brasileiro, isto e, respeitando as suas tradicoes e crencas? A pratica mostra que nao, mesmo o Brasil, desde a promulgacao da Constiuicao de 1988, dizer-se plurinacional. Assim, esse texto demonstra essas falhas estatais, explicitando que em um plano plurietnico (ideal e realmente descolonial), os indigenas teriam a liberdade de deliberar conforme a sua cultura naquilo que lhes diz respeito – o que, infelizmente, nem se discute no âmbito legislativo nacional. English Abstract: Legally, indigenous people could participate in the political life of the Brazilian state, simply by filling the eligibility conditions, such as having Brazilian nationality, being in full exercise of political rights, enlisting in elections, joining a political party and having the minimum age required for the claimed position. However, is this political right truly exercised in the Brazilian State, that is, respecting these people's traditions and beliefs? The practice shows that it does not happen in Brazil, even when considering that the 1988 Constitution has established a plurinational order. Thus, this article demonstrates these failures, explaining that in a pluri-ethnic (ideally and truly decolonial) plan, indigenous people would have the freedom to represent their own, and deliberate in accordance to their culture - which, unfortunately, it is not even discussed within the legislative power in Brazil.
