This research has the purpose of developing a decolonial comparative analysis of collective property law and the cultural-territorial dynamics of two indigenous peoples: Xukuru de Ororubá, in Brazil, and Mapuche in Chile, through the translation of the concept of collective property to territorial identity. The research shows how decolonial comparative law can take advantage of neo institutional analysis to promote an intercultural dialogue.
