Since the beginning of Brazilian colonization, indigenous peoples have been deterritorialized and marginalized. Although the existence of a shame of massacre and subjugation, the recognition and institutionalization of indigenous territories by the State is an important achievement. However, extractive and agricultural pressure from non-indigenous subjects on indigenous lands has led to different types of conflicts and injustices. An example is the occupation of the Indigenous Land, located in the southwest of the state of Paraná, permeated by land appropriations, disputes over resources and exploitation of Paraná's natural resources, especially wood, by non-indigenous people. This article presents an evolution of deforestation and the process of occupation of the Mangueirinha Indigenous Land, between 1975 and 2019, based on the interpretation of satellite images. In addition to a brief characterization of the Mangueirinha Indigenous Land, in portuguese Terra Indigena or TI, and its occupation, the article explains the changes that occurred in six periods, through the elaboration of maps of use for the following years: 1975, 1984, 1994, 2003, 2011 and 2019. It was also possible to identify and spatialize the areas that were no longer occupied with primary forests and the areas that, from 1994 onwards, implemented a process of forest regeneration. In the last years of the Indigenous Land, many native species were found in the forest cover, especially at the front, especially of large trees and commercial value, with Araucaria popularly size and commercial value, commercial Araucaria or Paraná Pine. However, since the end of the 1990s, some areas have been abandoned, allowing the return of the parallel process, despite the priceless possibilities arising from forest exploitation during the 20th century. Even so, extractive and agricultural pressure still remains in the Mangueirinha/PR TI.
