This text aims to explore, from

official data that point out the increase of violence

against indigenous women in Brazil (2016),

those meanings that categories such as gender

and ethnicity imprint in politics of historical

memory and therefore in the elaboration

and apprehension of traumatic events that

evolve our recent past (more than 20 years of

dictatorship:1964-1985) and the reconstruction

of social meanings for current political violence

suffered by them. Taking the intersectionalities

of social markers of difference into account,

besides those narratives that express different

levels of dispute, our attention is dragged to

a new agenda and towards the redefinition of

subject matters traditionally encompassed by

the field of politics of transitional justice. It aims

to analyze the limits and possibilities of political

participation and the democratization of memory,

truth and justice rights from victims of human

rights violations referring to indigenous context

and based on fundaments of hierarchies of sex/

gender system. This research is also supposed

to reflect on processes that correspond to the

politics of identitarians representations and to

memory narratives on different meanings of

experienced violence. It’s considered then to be

able to make power relations explicit throughout

the politics (and policies) of human rights from

the results presented by the Truth National

Commission on its Final Report (2014) and its

repercussions in different sociopolitical ranges.
