Associação Indígena Tembé de Santa Maria do Pará (AITESAMPA): um relato sobre a luta por direitos étnicos
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2011) FERNANDES, Edimar Antonio; SILVA, Almir Vital da; BELTRÃO, Jane Felipe
To protect the Federal Constitution with regard to the rights of indigenous peoples is a task of a great level of difficulty. Non-governmental organizations such as the associations created to develop projects in promotion of ethnic rights and the understanding of ethnic identity represent indigenous peoples interests in both internal and external negotiations as means to build autonomy and self determination. An example of such political action is the Indigenous Association of Tembé People from Santa Maria do Pará (AITESAMPA) as they have their land located within Pará State territory. AITESAMPA fights for the identity rights and survival needs of the Tembé people who were expelled from their original land in the Nineteenth Century and forced to walk about until finally relocated in Santa Maria municipality in Pará State territory. This study is dedicated to analyze the action of the Association from the perspective of social and ethnic initiatives which allow for the consolidation of the Tembé identity. It also analyzes strategies and topics originated in projects conceived with the purpose to protect Indigenous rights. The Association aims at establishing dialogue with Brazilian State and non-indigenous society who deny their rights and do not accept them. This Tembé group is not recognized within the ethnological literature which is mostly dedicated to the Tembé who are located at the Upper Guamá River. The investigation is developed from indigenous narratives and by following social movement. Authors are involved and have an implicated view as two are members of the Indigenous group and non-indigenous member has been summoned to aid them in their endeavour.

Luta por direitos: estudo sobre a Associação Indígena Tembé de Santa Maria do Pará (AITESAMPA)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013) FERNANDES, Edimar Antonio; BELTRÃO, Jane Felipe; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6647582671406048
The obstacles faced by the indigenous people in Brazil to enforce the rights they were granted with in the Federal Constitution of 1988 are of great effort, especially to the indigenous associations, which are an important tool in the fight for the rise of the ethnic rights, shaped like the non-indigenous organizations, they seek to develop projects that include the demand for affirmation of ethnic identities in the communities and represent the indigenous people in external and internal negotiations, contributing for the making of the autonomy and self-determination of the indigenous population. The Associação Indígena Tembé de Santa Maria do Pará (AITESAMPA) is an association that congregates the indigenous group Tembé, known as “from Santa Maria” (Northeast of Pará state), they fight for identity recognition and for the demarcation of lands, as since the 19th century, they were chased away from their lands and forced to make undesired displacements, until they established in the territory known today as the city of Santa Maria. This study is focused on the performance of the referred association, from the relevance of the social and ethnic “projects” that allow the reinforcement of the Tembé identity. In this research I analyze the strategies that were made, via “projects” developed by the Association to promote the defense of indigenous rights and the dialogue with the Brazilian State and the non-indigenous societies, that don’t accept them, especially because they are “unknown” in the ethnological literature that addresses the Tembé in the High Guamá River. The research develops itself from the indigenous narratives and follows the social movement.
