Abstract:

The 1988 Brazilian Federal Constitution established the basis for the implementation of health policies focused on indigenous peoples within the scope of the Unified Health System (SUS). The construction of such policies took place over decades, and involved disputes and tensions between indigenous leaders, indigenists and public institutions, such as Funai and the Ministry of Health. The Indigenous Health Conferences (IHC) have been the political spaces for the expression and consolidation of ideas and proposals, but in 1993, a few months before the 2nd IHC, occurred an event called the “1st Indigenous Health Forum”. With a historical approach, this paper sought to understand the organization and impacts of this Forum in the construction of indigenous health policy in Brazil during the 1990s. Among other materials, we analyzed an unpublished set of documents organized as a Dossier by Dr. István Varga and deposited in the University of São Paulo´s library. We discuss that between the 1st and the 2nd IHC, there is a strong connection with the 1st Indigenous Health Forum. The argumentative structures and proposals formulated in the 1st Indigenous Health Forum were reinforced during the subsequent events that culminated in the 2nd IHC.
