Da Guiana Inglesa para o Brasil: o processo de migração do povo indígena Wai Wai através dos relatos de História Oral (1967-1981)

Abstract

The present work has as its theme the migratory process of the Wai Wai Indigenous People from English Guiana to the northern region of Brazil made through reports from the Mapuera Village lords. Where the goal is to research oral reports from the Wai Wai, Katwena, Xerew, Tuunayana and Hixkariyana ethnic lords and hear them talk about the history of their people. The choice of the theme arose from the concern that, currently, young people of Wai Wai do not know its origin and history. With this initiative I hope to collaborate to keep our history alive through the written record for future generations.
