There are 724 Indigenous territories (Portuguese: Terra Indígena [ˈtɛʁɐ ĩˈdʒiʒẽnɐ], TI) in Brazil,[1] comprising about 13% of the country's land area.
In practice, Indigenous territories must be formally demarcated to gain full legal protection,[5][6] which is a multi-stage process overseen by the Fundação Nacional dos Povos Indígenas (FUNAI) and the Ministry of Justice and often involves protracted legal battles.
[7][8][9] As of 2020[update], there were 487 fully demarcated and approved Indigenous territories, covering a total area of more than 100 million hectares.
[10] For historical reasons—Portuguese colonisation started from the coast—most Indigenous territories are concentrated in the country's interior, particularly in Amazônia.
The following tables list proposed and approved Indigenous territories by state, along with their status in the demarcation process, land area, and approximate population.
