In order to identify the encoding process of the legal situation of the indigenous ethnic group in the Brazilian, with special emphasis on the legal capacity of these levels, we identified a number of citizens considered, specifically 350,438 persons, who in their day-to-day contact and form part of the whole society in the making of the various legal transactions. As a consequence of this fact, a number of important issues are inevitable, such as the validity of the performance of legal activities by these citizens. Because of loopholes, which legislation applies? What parameter should be used to establish the degree of legal capacity of a person belonging to an indigenous group? Last but not the least, the conceptual confusion in the legislation itself when dealing with “forest” population and “Indians” is an extra factor of complexity, with potential impact on the status of the studied citizens and may question whether they are actually subject to protection or discrimination.
