contents Historical justice and reparation for Indigenous Peoples in Brazil and Canada Ana Catarina Zema Clarisse Drummond Marcelo Zelic Elaine Moreira Antropología Brazil Canada Reparation Truth Commissions Indigenous Peoples The struggle of Indigenous Peoples for historical justice and reparation has gained visibility with the truth commissions' work in Brazil and Canada. Their final reports confirmed the Canadian and Brazilian states' responsibility for the genocide of thousands of Indians. To start a reconciliation process, several redress recommendations were made, but never fully accomplished. We observed repeated violence acts against Indigenous Peoples in both countries more than five years after these recommendations were published. The purpose of this article is to evaluate, from the Critical Studies of Transitions’ perspective, the reconciling and reparative scope of the Truth Commissions of Brazil and Canada and to analyze the difficulties of implementing their recommendations. We show that despite promises to transform colonial relations, these Truth Commissions have been unable to address the past and the continuity of structural violence affecting Indigenous Peoples. 2021 artículo científico 1809-4341 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=406969792016 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4069/406969792016/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4069/406969792016/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4069/406969792016/406969792016.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4069/406969792016/movil 10.1590/1809-43412021v18a707 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4069 VIBRANT - Vibrant Virtual Brazilian Anthropology application/pdf Associação Brasileira de Antropologia VIBRANT - Vibrant Virtual Brazilian Anthropology (Brasil) Vol.18
