Abstract

This study addresses the nature society relationship of the Wai Wai indigenous people of the Jatapuzinho / Caroebe-RR community. For that, the method of analysis of Jorge Gasché and Lev Vygotsky was used as a basis for the purpose of explaining the knowledge required for the practical execution of each activity of such indigenous society. Issues such as livelihoods and the relationship of the Wai Wai with nature to the pressures of the 21st century were discussed. In order, then, to follow specifically the question of hunting, with the purpose of contributing to a deeper understanding of the peculiar ways of being of the indigenous inhabitants of the Amazon Forest. Finally, in order to understand how the Wai Wai hunting activity develops, interviews were conducted with the following social actors: Wai Wai Indians, interviews were made with the following social actors: indigenous Wai Wai, religious agent of MEVA and zootechnician of FUNAI. In addition, a specific hunting schedule was drawn up to identify the types of animals and hunting sites of the Wai Wai of Jatapuzinho, defined in the twelve months of the year. Therefore, with the support of such an expository and analytical course, a critical revision will be made on the Wai Wai Indians in the fields of historiography and ethnography, in this next step, will be discussed reflections on the relation society nature from the activity of hunting.
