The present study aims, from a historical-legal analysis, to identify the role that the judicial process related to the event known as the "Haximu massacre", occurred in 1993, occupies in the development of the understanding of Brazil about the crime of genocide, as typified in the Convention for the Prevention and Repression of the Crime of Genocide of 1948 and internalized in Brazilian law through Law nº 2,889 of 1956. From the result obtained, in conjunction with a historical analysis of the situation of indigenous peoples, it is concluded that, despite the correct understanding of the judiciary on the legal good protected by the crime, the national socio-political context is still a fertile ground for future occurrences of this serious international crime against indigenous Brazilian peoples.
