Mining is banned and logging restricted in a vast Amazon area and some other indigenous reserves.
Lula signed the demarcation decree at a gathering of Brazil's indigenous people in the capital Brasília
Lula, who took office in January, has pledged to reverse policies of his far-right predecessor Jair Bolsonaro, who promoted mining in indigenous lands. "We are going to legalise indigenous lands. It is a process that takes a little while, because it has to go through many hands," the 77-year-old leader told the crowds.
While hailing Lula's decision, some indigenous leaders pointed out that his government had vowed to recognise 14 new territories.
