Abstract

This work aims to understand the socio - spatial organization as well as the cultural representations of the Krenak Indians, who inhabit the Indian Vanuíre Village, located in the Municipality of Arco Íris, SP. In this way, we intend to identify possible traits arising from the spaces originating from these people, represented or not in the materiality of spatial organization, in order to find, together with the indigenous group, strategies to strengthen Krenak identity through the methodological principles proposed by the Research-Action.
