Existências resistências, aí é apostado, TII!! : reconhecimentos e identificações indígenas Tapuias e Tabajaras em Piripiri - Piauí

The 1988 Brazilian Constitution, the Citizen, brought about changes in the relations between indigenous and non-indigenous societies in Brazil, at least from the point of view of the law. Within this framework, indigenous organizations emerged as collective highlights in the process of discussing indigenous rights and brought greater visibility to the issue, in movements that involved supporters of the cause, among them some Constituents, intellectuals from various areas and counted on the protagonism of themselves, indigenous people working with constituents, in the articulations that allowed progressive changes, in a broad sense. The search that motivates this work is to reflect on the constitution of an association of indigenous character, the Associacao Itacoatiara (Itacoatiara Association), organized by indigenous families living in the city of Piripiri, in the north of the state of Piaui, in 2005 and the ethnization processes of part of the members of indigenous family groups who participated in the organization at their establishment. My position at that time was that of those who were together in articulation with the other families, as an indigenous and anthropologist, as well as a collaborator in the outbreak of the Itacoatiara Association of Piripiri Indigenous Remnants, the first indigenous organization that has been known since the beginning of the century XXI, in Piaui.
