This research aims to reflect on the meaning (re)production that the Indians build for themselves. The corpus consists of three letters and two online movement manifests. These texts, dating from 2012 and 2013 are presented on behalf of an indigenous collectivity. The theoretical assumptions that support this paper are those based on French Discourse Analysis (AD), according to the Michel Pêcheux‟s propositions. In order to contemplate the objective of this work, it is kept as an analytical focus some linguistic marks: the first plural person, some denominations and determinations and certain verbs and phrasal verbs. The effects of meanings produced by the Indians for themselves are marked by the difference and separation between Indians and non-Indians. They are directions which reserve the indigenous diversity and point the Indians as combative, in confrontation with the state and with some segments of society. It was possible to observe the relations established between two subject-positions (subject-positions 1, Indian helplessness and subject-position 2, Indian resistance) constituted in the same discursive formation.
