Felipe Kamaroski is an Anthropologist with the State Government of ParanĂ¡ and a member of the Brazilian Anthropological Association. As an indigenist and researcher among the Kaingang people of southern Brazil, he studies the relationship between state justice systems and indigenous systems of justice.
