“Gente de Verd@de”: entre coisas de índio e coisas de não índio: novas geografias Paiter Suruí

Abstract

To understand the relationships among indigenous peoples was for long time a solitary task for anthropology. It is necessary to understand this entanglement of relationships by means of a geographical view of what one must do and redo. Thus, we seek to analyze an indigenous ethnic group located in the state of Mato Grosso and Rondônia who call themselves "True People" and "True People", the well-known Paiter Suruí. Our objective is to understand the territorial materialization of the relations of the Paui Suruí from external materialities that, "translated" (new senses), participate in territorial transformations manifest in "new" materialities and immaterialities. It was necessary to raise a discussion about material culture and how its entry into indigenous land transformed the way of life and the way of conceiving the territory and the territorialities, starting from a field work, like structured and open interviews. There were three objects analyzed, the machete as a figure of the state, the maloca and the cabocla and the social media in the figure of social networks because we believe that these objects help to think the multiplicity of relationships that are forged in the Paiter Surui territory.
