This dissertation aims to study the right of indigenous peoples to the preservation of their sacred places, by analyzing a case: the right of the Munduruku people to the preservation of a place considered by them as sacred: the Sete Quedas Falls, in the Teles Pires river. Faced with the risk of destruction of this sacred place, due to the construction of a hydroelectric dam, the Public Prosecution Office filed a public civil action seeking to declare the environmental licensing of the project null and void. The proceeding of such action is presented in the lower court and superiors, as well as its main arguments, based mainly on the recognition of indigenous peoplesʼ rights in the Federal Constitution of 1988 and the right to free, prior and informed consultation of indigenous peoples on initiatives that could affect their lives, as required by the Convention No. 169 of the International Labor Organization. It reflects on the preservation of sacred places as respect for religious freedom, as well as from the angle of cultural heritage. Some jurisprudential precedents are presented at the Inter-American Court of Human Rights and the US Supreme Court. Finally, some ways for the realization of this right in Brazil are proposed.
