The aim of this article is to reflect on CNJ Resolution 287/2019 and its application to indigenous citizens involved in criminal proceedings, ensuring that these people have the right to an anthropological report. There are occasions when indigenous people find it difficult to understand legal terms during the hearing or pre-trial phase, not fully understanding the terms and provisions that led them to suffer a restrictive measure of rights or their freedom. In view of this, a resolution was issued by the CNJ in order to extend the rights enshrined in the Constitution, enabling the assistance of an anthropologist and thus guaranteeing a fairer process when it comes to indigenous people. The research allows us to conclude that the anthropological report contributes to the effectiveness of Article 231 of the CRFB/88. Through exploratory research, seeking to understand indigenous peoples in their multiple aspects, the article will seek to achieve its objectives.
