Taking into account decisions related to lands and territories of indigenous peoples, the article makes a socio-legal analysis of the situation of indigenous peoples, organized in rural and native communities. The first part discusses the lack of precision in national regulations on the concept of indigenous peoples in relation to communities, and then recounts various legal norms that constitute a setback in the protection of indigenous peoples’ rights. A succinct analysis is also made on collective titling policies, highlighting the tension with extractive activities such as mining and hydrocarbons. Finally, a specific case of the San Martin region is studied.
