Para tanto, neste trabalho realizo uma revisão bibliográfica de alguns trabalhos já produzidos no campo da Antropologia Jurídica, oferecendo ao mesmo tempo ao leitor uma leitura crítica das teorias.

El Grupo de Trabajo propone, desde una perspectiva inter histórica e inter cultural , reunir las investigaciones que revisen las construcciones sobre el Buen Vivir en distintos contextos sociales. Nuestro objetivo es reunir trabajos que se dediquen a la comprensión de las reacciones sociales que están asociadas a la buena vida, a la vida con dignidad y a los límites de la vida y de la muerte. La complejidad, multiplicidad y variedad de creencias y prácticas asociadas al Buen Vivir requieren de la exploración de casos particulares, a fines de revelar como emerge cada uno de ellos en un contexto sociohistórico que le es propio. Considerando que el Buen Vivir es un motor que estimula a la gente a obedecer a sus propios proyectos regionales, a los intereses de la comunidad local, proponemos que se discuta el rol de los objetos históricos, políticos y culturales en los proyectos de vida comunitarios, los espacios locales adentro de los Estados-naciones. El presente Grupo de Trabajo intenta promover un diálogo multidisciplinario a partir de la participación de profesionales y estudiantes de distintos países y áreas del conocimiento, así como visa reunir trabajos concluidos o en desarrollo sobre la temática del Buen Vivir y sobre el conjunto complejo de temas alrededor de los proyectos de buena vida, generando un ámbito de discusión donde se expongan propuestas teórico-metodológicas. Así, procuramos propiciar un ambiente de diversidad de pensamiento.

eld study in three villages belonging to the Atikamekw and Anishinabe groups,this paper proposes changes in three areas of social policy that could contribute to prevention of youth sui-cide. These three areas are: youth protection, administration of justice, and housing. An argument is made
rst to adapt the youth protection law of Quebec and to give greater responsibility to communities in individ-ual cases in order to prevent child placement outside the villages. Regarding the administration of justice, wesuggest initiatives to encourage rapid prosecution of crimes on reserves and the adoption of an approachbased on reconciliation between perpetrator and victim. Finally, we indicate how housing measures couldhelp safeguard children's wellbeing given that overcrowding can contribute to suicide. The discussion alsoproposes that these three key changes in social policy could be relevant in other Aboriginal communitiesboth within and outside of Quebec.

well as among Aboriginal communities. This research compares First Nations families living
in three contexts – on a reserve, in a small town, and in a metropolitan area – to verify if
children on a reserve appear to have higher family vulnerability, as indicated by a measure of
negligence/indifference. An interview was conducted with three non-random samples of
Quebec First Nations parents. The first sample was selected from a reserve, the second from
families living in small towns near a reserve, and the third from two metropolitan areas. The
negligence score was based on the criteria of the Childhood Experience of Care and Abuse
interview. Aboriginal families from the metropolitan areas obtained a lower rate of negligence
than the reserve group, with an intermediate rate for the small town group. However, rates
were high in all three settings. Informants from groups outside the reserve perceived the
reserve as presenting more challenges to raising children than where they lived. Vulnerability
of children is likely to remain high in this reserve in the near future. Initiatives that have the
intention of empowering parents should be undertaken at the family level. Prevention should
also focus on ecological factors such as housing, continuing education, and job creation, as
well as family intervention.

Todas as pessoas que fazem parte da minha vida neste momento me ajudaram de alguma forma a escrever esta dissertação. Eu sei que essas pessoas me amam e eu as amo mais ainda. Meus pais, Aldo e MariaÂngela, pacientes, porém firmes, inteligentes e generosos, as pessoas que mais me apóiam em tudo na vida. Meus irmãos, Ada e Sandro, perspicazes, questionadores,às vezes irritantes, mas brilhantes quando argumentam e me colocamà prova. Os mais amados.
