Abstract

The disappearence of Yanomami community and the intensification of the illegal garimpo in indigenous land were the facts that motivated this research. This article aims to study the relation between the possible passivity of the state towards the illegal garimpo and the violation of human Rights of native peoples. In order to achieve this goal, it was executed a brief survey of the Yanomami, their land and their culture. Furthermore, it was done a survey of the most recent state’s attitudes towards the illegal garimpo on the region, with the purpose of analise the relation bewtween the invisibility of indigenous peoples and the (in)effectiveness of their rights. This qualitative exploratory and explanatory scientific work, done by bibliographic and documental revision. As conclusion, it was pointed that there is an attempt to silence native peoples voices, since there is not a active listening towards their minimal existence demands. The reasons for this silencing resides in the structural inheritage of coloniality’s knowledge and power.
