ÍNDIOS: DESAFIOS AS PESQUISAS E AS REFLEXÕES HISTÓRICAS

Abstract

: Several studies have been conducted over the last twenty years on the so-called “mixed Indians” in the Northeast. Groups mobilized since the early decades of the twentieth century for rights claims calling into question beliefs and claims about indigenous disappearance in the Region, and which have gained considerable sociopolitical visibility in recent years. Therefore, constituting a theme to be discussed in the area of History, despite prejudices and the almost unknown, expressed by the still little research on the subject in this area of study. From a research carried out on the Xukuru Ororubá, in habitants of Pesqueira and Poção / PE, we seek to highlight how the indigenous people, based on their memories and history, share the past (re) reading of events chosen as important to affirm rights, even in the midst of so much adversity, persecution and violence, as an indigenous people.
