Acesso em: .1982-3916https://repositorio.ufpa.br/handle/2011/14160This article discusses the experience of indigenous of Xypaia and Kuruaya ethnicities of the Xingu region to undergraduate degree in Ethnodevelopment of the Federal University of Pará (UFPA) and allows theoretical tools for identity reassurance in a context considered adverse and homogenizing, valuing relations with local indigenous movements. From written accounts and testimonies, it’s seen the growth of the indigenous community access to affirmative policies, noting a higher number of women belonging to the two already mentioned indigenous ethnic groups, what demonstrates a permission of the reintegration of younger members in organized indigenous movements and the stimulation of these to fight for the prestige of their identity, by the agency of their culture and for recognition of their ethnicity.Acesso Abertohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/br/EtnodesenvolvimentoMovimentos indígenasEtnicidadeAgênciaEthnodevelopmentIndigenousMovementsEthnicityAgencyArtigo de Periódico
