Abstract

The aim of this work is to draw the trajectory of Terena Indians, since their origin in Chaco region up to the housing of one of their groups in Ekeruá Village, located in Araribá Reservation, in the central-western region of São Paulo State. Their daily contacts with Indian and non-Indian relatives during their removal through Brazilian lands are evidenced as assimilation, acculturation, resignificance and deterritorialization processes from which they were exposed to during the last two centuries. It was in this most diffuse context provided by a globalizing new order that one verifies remarkable action of Ekeruás in the reconstruction of their identity, in the recovering of their own knowledge and traditional trades, and, at the same time, in the transformation of their own cultural production into products. This field research, through difference and inequality identification from which these native Brazilian citizens are exposed to, has identified real results of empowerment provided by their different and rich cultural production, by recognizing their own resignified identity and by new possibilities of sustainable development of the group.
