The present study proposes a reflection on the right to self-identification of indigenous peoples and the possibility of considering it as fundamental right. We hypothesize that in electing democracy as a regime of government and in saying that the rights and guarantees expressed in the Constitution do not exclude others arising from the regime and the principles adopted by it, or of the international treaties to which Brazil is a party, the article 5 of the Brazilian Political Charter raises the right to self-identification provided for in international human rights documents to the status of fundamental right. This hypothesis will be developed in this article from the references of Anthropology and Political Science that debate the centrality of self-identification for the full enjoyment of other rights of the personality, considering our colonial history that nullified the dignity of culturally differentiated groups.
