SOCIAL PROTECTION FOCUSED ON INDIGENOUS POPULATION IN URBAN CONTEXT
Abstract
The objective of this study is to analyze how the denial of indigenous identity through village and non-village antagonism would make it difficult to guarantee social protection for indigenous people living in an urban context. With this purpose in mind, we carried out a bibliographical, documental and observational study. Data analysis followed the critical perspective. At first, we will historicize the process of denial of indigenous identity in the social imaginary. In the second moment, we will analyze the laws and regulations that aim to guarantee the minimum of social protection to indigenous peoples. In the third moment, we will turn our gaze to social work within the scope of Social Assistance for the indigenous population living in an urban context. Finally, we will present a possible reading on the challenges to guarantee the recognition of their identity to indigenous people living in urban contexts and their access to specific social protection policies for this population.
