Kaingang, Business, (Re)territorializationAbstract
This article analyzes the temporary camps that the Kaingang of the Apucarana Indigenous Area started to do in the city of Londrina. Installed in canvas tents, the Kaingang families spend ten to fifteen days selling handicrafts from bamboo - baskets of various sizes and shapes, sieves - on the streets of the city. Many Londoners started to complain about the indigenous presence in the city, especially when they come in large quantities and even install dozens of canvas tents in the city's vacant lots. This article aimed to understand the reasons for the displacement of the Indians to the urban area of Londrina and at the same time to analyze the way they (re) produce a Kaingang space, according to their traditional customs. In the past, the entire region of the middle Tibagi, Kaingang territory, it can be said that the current Kaingang, living precariously in the reserves, find in the sale of handicrafts, a form of (re) territorialization in spaces now occupied by whites.References
