This article addresses the mobilization of indigenous peoples and traditional communities for the recognition of their right to free, prior and informed consent (FPIC) provided for in ILO Convention 169, as a strategy of resistance and strengthening of their social organization in defense of their traditionally occupied territories. It takes as reference observations in the field, during visits and consultations carried out in five traditional communities, and testimonies of leaders of these territories, in the state of Pará. Sixty-one community autonomous protocols approved in Brazil, between 2014 and 2022, were also consulted, available at the Observatory of Autonomous Protocols. It is concluded that the appropriation of the FPIC has strengthened organization and resistance in indigenous territories and have become potential instruments for the exercise of local grassroots democracy.
