This study aims to investigate the contemporary territorial dynamics within conflicts driven by the Brazilian State and agribusiness against indigenous territories. Simultaneously, we analyze indigenous resistances against socio-environmental pillaging and zones of exception. Employing a qualitative approach, we integrate critical literature reviews from both theoretical-methodological and political perspectives of indigenous and non-indigenous researchers, semi-structured interviews, and spatio-temporal analysis of changes in land use. Initially, we examine theoretical contributions regarding land financialization dynamics and the expansion of agribusiness, highlighting the systematic attacks by agrarian bourgeoisie on indigenous territories, particularly in Mato Grosso do Sul. Subsequently, we emphasize the significance of territorial recovery processes in Latin America and Brazil, countering State and Capital offensives. Confronting ongoing warfare and socio-environmental pillaging, indigenous peoples break through old and new enclosures, bolstering the defense of territory and autonomy.
