| Resumo: | The information circulating on digital social networks is sometimes false and affects vulnerable groups, such as indigenous people. To understand false information about indigenous Brazilian people, we evaluated the fake news checked by the Lupa agency. From 2018 to 2023, 36 fake news focused on indigenous peoples, with only three without the “False” label, but still contributing to disinformation. The speech of far-right politicians and supporters highlighted the lies about indigenous people, with politicization observed indirectly in 2 lies and directly in 28 fake news, 24 benefiting the far-right and 4 the left spectrum. |
