Keywords:
Indians, Tutelage, Amazon region, Eighteenth centuryAbstract
This text examines the nature of the legal concept of tutelage over American Indian peoples in the eighteenth-century Amazon region. This analysis is based on an examination of two main laws, published in 1757 (Diretório dos Índios) and 1798 (Carta Régia), and of the conditions of their application considering the many meanings of freedom within colonial society at the end of the eighteenth century.
