This paper has as main focus to develop a debate on indigenous policy developed by the Brazilian State and the Indigenous movement developed in Brazil from the 1970 year. The 1988 Constitution recognized the indigenous right to represent and join themselves in pursuit of their demands. The support from civil society and a global environmental conservation policy reinforced the political articulations of these people, giving visibility to their demands (mainly in the Amazon region). This configuration policy caused a breakthrough in national and international law that allowed the indigenous a more horizontal dialogue with the Brazilian government and civil society, developing an indigenous policy in response to Indian policy practiced by the state. In this relationship full of nuances, the projects developed for indigenous peoples in the twenty-first century with the participation of their representatives, this participation has improved the scope of the indigenous in the public spheres, which, through ethnic associations, has redesigned their cultures in search of insertion socio-political system in Brazil. The new legislation implementation process in indigenous practice has proved to be difficult and full of paradoxes, however showing the paths taken to strengthen an incipient democracy.
