This work broaches the process of construction of the Brazilian Constituent Assembly of 1988 on which the indigenous rights are included, showing advances in relation to the previous constitutions. For the first time in Brazil's history, indigenous groups from different ethnics are congregated on the form of a social movement to claim for their rights on the National Congress. Therefore, our central question is to analyze this participation of the Indigenous Movement in this process of elaboration and voting of the Constituent Assembly; in other words, we seek to understand the influences of the indigenous participation in the promulgation of the 1988's Constitution. To assist in the understanding of this process, we analyze the previous indigenous laws, the conflicting relationship between indigenous people and the Armed Forces; the civilian society's organizing process from the social movements and the Non Governmental Organizations that support indigenous cause, as well as the political situation of the period that precedes the creation of the Brazilian Constituent Assembly.
