The history of contact between indigenous people and national society shows the
totalitarian practices undertaken since the sixteenth century in Brazil. The interethnic contact
undertaken by the Brazilian State toward the people Awaete/Asurini do Xingu was made in a
context that prioritized the occupation and economic exploitation of the region of the Middle
Xingu through major projects, during the period of military dictatorship in the country. The
contact was a way to control indigenous peoples through the actions of the state. The stories
of contact are analyzed from the theoretical reference of Structural Anthropology and
Analysis of Speech and reveal the persistence of colonialism between the years 1971 and
1991, after the advent of the Citizen Constitution (1988), which formally recognizes the rights
and autonomy of indigenous people in Brazil. The practice of ethnocentrism as a radical
negation of alterity remains until the present, even within the discourse of multiculturalism. |
