Os Tembé na cidade: territorialização, trajetória e história dos Tembé que residem em Capitão Poço/PA

Abstract

The tembé of the Guamá live in villages on the banks of the river that gives name to the Indigenous Land Alto Rio Guamá, but not only in the Indigenous Land (hereinafter IL), the tembé of the Guamá are the family units residing outside of the indigenous land, who are in the communities were formed around it, in cities like Capitão Poço and Ourém. Such communities and cities have a close relationship with the history of this indigenous group members. In view of this, this research is an analysis of the tembé's identities through a study of the networks of the relationships of the various social agents that I sought to highlight in this anthropological work, which are indigenous (whether they live in the villages, or those who live in the city of Capitão Poço) and non-indigenous people (both those who live in the city and those who live in communities close to the Indigenous Land). In this way, the analyzes that have been made need to be considered beyond their links with indigenous agents from other villages, but quilombolas and riverside dwellers can also be included. Thus, these relations allowed me to propose an analysis of the conformation of the group's territorialization process, in addition to making it possible to weave understandings of the various historical situations to which these indigenous agents were subjected, which was done from the adoption of a procedural approach. Therefore, I consider that, both in relation to the construction of the Indian's image by the academy, as well as the relationship of these indigenous agents with non-indigenous people and with issues related to moments of conflicts and alliances between the Tembé of the Guamá and institutions such as the Protection Service to the Indian, National Indian Foundation, Pará State Executive Education Secretariat and the demonstration of the trajectories of such native agents and other agents with whom they maintain relations, were relevant to this research that set out to think about the processes that led to the conformation different Tembé identities.
