O povo Karajá de Aruanã-GO/Brasil: turismo, território e vida indígena

Abstract

This article analyzes issues related to the tourism, territory and indigenous life of the Karajá people, located in the municipality of Aruanã, in the State of Goiás, Brazil. Aruanã is part of the Vale do Araguaia Tourist Region, a complex set of capital dynamics and different economic interests. Thus, when considering the appropriations of the territories, especially with regard to tourist activities, it is necessary to rethink the different uses and consequences of how these practices are instituted, especially when it comes to indigenous territories. The researches pointed out that the interethnic contact and the insertion of the Karajá in the market demands of the tourism without adequate planning, culminates in socio-cultural re-significances. This research is qualitative and ethnographic and was developed from a bibliographical survey, work and field book, participant observation, conversation wheel, narrative records and images.
