Resumo
Between 1952 and 1953, the union between Diacuí Canualo Aiwute (? – 1953), a indigenours woman from the Kalapálo ethnic group, and Ayres Câmara Cunha (1915-1997), a sertanist from the Roncador-Xingu Expedition, gained notoriety through discussions in the Brazilian press. Inserted in a context of divergent political and ideological struggles, Diacuí became the main character of a national adventure: the couple's “love” story became an unprecedented agenda in the space-time frame. Ethnologists, anthropologists, indigenists, politicians, journalists and civilians assiduously participated in debates about the "to marry or not to marry” stamped in newspapers and magazines. Based on the analysis of representations about Diacuí Canualo Aiwute found in the magazine “O Cruzeiro” (1952 – 1953) and in the book “Entre os índios do Xingu: a verdadeira história de Diacuí”, written by Ayres Câmara Cunha in 1960, we try to understand the construction of this character in the mentioned sources, its content and its importance for the Brazilian context in the 50s.
