Brazil's constitution recognises indigenous land rights as original

node

Article 231 of the new Brazilian constitution recognises indigenous peoples' rights to the lands they traditionally occupy as pre-existing the state, making demarcation an act of recognition rather than of grant. It becomes the legal foundation for the territorial system that now covers a substantial share of the Brazilian Amazon, and the interpretation of what "traditionally occupy" means remains litigated.

A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
