To prepare this dissertation, we used in the investigation phase a hypothetical-deductive method with a qualitative approach. As for the procedural techniques, were bibliographic and documentary, using theoretical foundations to explain the circumstances exposed. Therefore, this research was developed along the lines of research Constitutional Jurisdiction and Democracy. In the first chapter the objective is to bring reflections about structural coloniality and how this phenomenon promotes the inferiorization of people indigenous people. Concepts of human dignity, freedom of expression, the reflections that speeches can have on people's lives in general, and how this can be a basis to violence, harming the development of that affected community. The second chapter briefly talks about the history of the original peoples in Brazil, their right to be who they are, addressing the instruments that help in their protagonism and in the preservation of their culture, such as FUNAI and the Indian Statute.

It is concluded that universities have a social commitment to society and minorities, and Brazilian legislation and the Federal Constitution protect and defend equality in theory, but this has to be done in practice, in everyday academic life. For this reason, it is highlighted the importance of curricular, political and social change, starting from higher education institutions and programs that bring the indigenous people as protagonists and seek to effectuate the material equality.
