FUNAI's own mission. Second presidency of Lula da Silva In his first act of government, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva issued the Provisional Measure No. 1,154, of 1 January 2023, which created the Ministry of Indigenous People, and also renamed the Fundação Nacional do Índio (National Indian Foundation – FUNAI) with the name of Fundação Nacional dos Povos Indígenas (National Indigenous People Foundation), in addition to linking this foundation authority to the newly created ministry. On the same day, Sônia Guajajara, a federal deputy elected for São Paulo in 2022, becomes the first indigenous woman to hold a ministerial position in the Brazilian government, when she was appointed as a minister.
