Abstract

This article reflects about the land disputes between Indians and settlers in the West of Santa Catarina, in order to describe the historical context of 19th and 20th centuries that created the current situation. We used as source two official documents of utmost importance when the subject is the lands of the West: the Imperial Law n°. 601 of September 18, 1850, which legislated about the unoccupied lands and the Decree Law of June 18, 1902 using the techniques and methods of ethno history.
