The dissertation is a historical-anthropological study about the Keka between the Palikur-Arukwayene people of the Urukauá river that demonstrates the constitution of the autonomous person among the peoples that compose the interethnic mosaic on the border of Oiapoque from an event considered bellicose, time in which it seeks to bring to light the indigenous version related to the historical occupation of the Guyanese region that was constituted for centuries as the Caribbean Amazon. Despite the Keka be translated as war by different indigenous interlocutors, the ethnographic quotidian shows that it is best translated as party or warrior competition, addressing principles and motivations for the ritual indigenous bellicosity preceding the European invasion and prevail in different ways, to the shame of the action and the impacts caused by the indigenism of the bordering national states.

“Melhores mestres...”: saberes indígenas e ciência colonial no vale Amazônico (século XVIII)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-09-05) SANTOS, Rafael Rogério Nascimento dos; COELHO, Mauro Cezar; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7187368960757936
This thesis analyzes the roles that the indigenous peoples of the Amazon Valley played in the circulation/construction of knowledge during the second half of 18th century, considering them as subjects who were actively involved in this process, as historical protagonists. From the perspective of Indigenous History and the History of Science, and through documentation, I demonstrate that their knowledge was part of the constitution of the natural sciences under construction in that period, and how, to a considerable extent, their knowledge was appropriated by the modern science under construction at the time. The thesis states that the construction of knowledge, as well as its circulation, relied essentially on local sources and practices, and, as I try to show and analyze, on indigenous practices, techniques and knowledge. I present and analyze sources that make it possible to insert the indigenous peoples of the Amazon Valley into the history of Western scientific knowledge.
