Abstract

In 1911, German Franciscans who had recently arrived in Brasil, and, more specifically, in the State of Pará, founded a religious mission named Missão de São Francisco do rio Cururu, in the middle of the Munduruku territory. The Franciscans left behind not only a missionary equipment that tried to fulfill the missionary program of civilization for indians, but also a religious documentation, formed by diaries, chronicles and essays allegedly ethnological, that allowed the construction of a variety of religious speeches about the indigenous culture. And when these discourses were published, they invented a Munduruku society.
