Brasilia, Jun 16 (EFE), (CAMERA: Alex Mirkhan) .- A group of indigenous people protested Wednesday outside the National Congress against a bill that could affect the demarcation of indigenous lands.
Indigenous people arrive before Brazil's Supreme Court to await a decision on a key case on whether to restrict native peoples' rights to their ancestral lands. So far, five judges have voted to reject the so-called "time-frame argument", which holds that native peoples should not have the right to lands where they were not present in 1988, when the country's current constitution was ratified.
