This research seeks to analyze the Potassium Amazonas Project - Autazes in the Municipality of Autazes, State of Amazonas, Brazil, on the Indigenous Land of the Mura Ethnicity, with the proposal for an enterprise focused on the extraction of potassium chloride from sylvinite with the objective of manufacturing of fertilizers to supply the Brazilian domestic market. Initially, the objective was to verify the entrepreneurial company's proposal with the negative impacts, the mitigating measures, as well as the positive impacts. Next, the Consultation and Consent Protocol of the Mura Indigenous People of the Municipalities of Autazes and Careiro da Várzea, Amazonas, Brazil, was discussed, as well as the distribution of the Mura Villages in that Amazonian territory. Finally, in the field of legality, it was observed the territorial interests and rights, cultural memory and ancestry of the Mura ethnic group in the dictates of the Convention of the International Labor Organization (ILO) 169/1989, figures in Process before the Federal Court in Amazonas.
