Abstract

In order to study the process of formation of Kaingang territory on the Mesoregion Great Border Mercosul, situated on the Southwest Parana, West Santa Catarina and Northwest Rio Grande do Sul, in 15 Indian lands, we analyzed the conceptions of world and the interest of different authors that interact on the formation of territorial diversity in confronting indigenous people´s lands Kaigang. The study seeks to characterize Kaingang´s population, verifying aspects of the policy, power and to take decision into their territories, also seeks to characterize the nation state as a tutor organ; the regional and local authorities, regarding the actions in the political, economic and environmental uses of space and work of the Kaingang people. The study of territoriality, the link with the past, gathering, hunting and fishing, plantation and housing, cooperation and leases of land are important to help understand the conception of this territory between Kaingang that express themselves in the struggles for dominance and the organization of their spaces. With grounding in social theories and concrete spaces and concrete spaces of power relations between Kaingang, we studied the territory in order to understand how to configure the territorialities before the demarcation of land by the Union, in contrast to the discourses of autonomy and social equality, autonomy and freedom of Kaingang, in order to understand the territoriality in confrontation, arising from how we process the power relations between Indians and non-Indians in the Kaingang Territory Mesoregion Great Border MERCOSUL.
