The article aims to raise questions about how changes occurred in relation to indigenous work, with an emphasis on the Karitiana of Rondônia, as a result of the expansion of capitalism and the methods used to ensure territorial dispossession, reverberating in different forms of violence. Authors such as Marx (2008), Luxemburgo (1970), Hobsbawm (2006), Mendonça (2004), Thomaz Júnior (2012), among others, were used to discuss the work category. In the conceptions arising throughout this article, it can be seen that the ethnocide applied by the European invaders is still present, the various conflicts are still part of the daily lives of indigenous people, in a country where their political representatives whether in the legislative, executive or judiciary they relegate, give the license to invade the lands and kill the rest of the original population, the simple act of living for these people is already a (Re) Existence. Thus, with the advancement of techniques in the twentieth century, production and consumption accelerated, resulting in new forms of deterritorialization of ethnicities, forcing international organizations to demand reparations from the Brazilian government. In this way, the World Bank directly influenced the demarcations of indigenous lands in Brazil, it can be said that it was only possible due to the imposition of international organizations.
