📅 20 November 1995 📍 Brazilië

The Boa Vista community in Oriximiná, Pará, received the first collective title granted to a quilombola territory in Brazil. The title emerged through years of community organizing and advocacy, including the work of the Associação das Comunidades Remanescentes de Quilombos do Município de Oriximiná (ARQMO) and Comissão Pró-Índio. It marked an important precedent, while the slow pace of later titling showed how far formal recognition remained from effective territorial security.
