Poder, Guerra e Cisão: A formação das aldeias Djudjêkô e Ô’ôdjá dos Xikrin do Kateté na Região Amazônica século XX

Abstract

The thesis aims to analyze the splits and reconfigurations between the Xikrin of Kateté, for this I considered wars and native policies. The hypothesis is that the fissions that occurred within the Mebêngokrê-Xikrin ethnic group are the result of political actions and also wars. Furthermore, I also reflect the separations that occurred between the Xikrin themselves and the formations of the two villages, from the village of Kateté, Djudjêkô and Ô’ôdjá, which is the main objective of the work. The topic is relevant for indigenous anthropology and especially for indigenous people, as there is a gap related to the theme. Indigenous historiography still has numerous open questions, its studies are still in the early stages, which is why anthropologists are responsible for the main work related to the topic. I worked with “ethnography” as a methodology, as it is the best suited to obtain the results necessary for the analysis of my object. It is through observations, interviews, field diary notes and the analysis of written and oral sources, and also the evaluation of the formation of Xikrin memory that I arrived at the results presented here. Regarding theoretical questions, authors from the field of indigenous ethnology are used, mainly those who reflected on the Amazon.
