Sahu-apé e o turismo em terras e comunidades indígenas

Abstract

This research is about the issue of tourism on indigenous lands and communities, starting from the analysis of tourism policies developed in the context of the Brazilian state. This point of view was chosen as the focus of analysis and policy proposals for the development of tourism in the Amazon and with indigenous peoples in the region, identifying as the main agents SPVEA, SUDAM, the Ministries of Tourism and Environment and FUNAI. In order to understand this political field of indigenism, we also elected positions from the conferences of indigenous peoples. The reflection of this reserach is centralized in the ethnic community Sateré-Mawé Sahu-Ape, located in the small ville of Iranduba, Amazonas. This is a group that is in the heart of these development policies and and they defined their own strategies for managing tourism and ethnicity.
