Decree 3,912 set federal procedures for recognition and titling and tied eligibility to occupation on 5 October 1988, the date of the Constitution’s promulgation. This restrictive time test narrowed the constitutional promise and became a point of conflict. The decree was revoked in 2003, when a new rule recognized self-identification and specific territorial relations.
