The course is a revision of the bibliography about the Indian in Brazil and an analysis of the diverse forms of inter-ethnic contact. Summary: In the history of anthropology, there always has been a marked study of ethnic study of indigenous societies. It was around there that anthropology started and this continues to be a decisive space for its development. In the contemporary world, in the actual conditions of globalization, this study became even more complex. It continues to enrich theoretic reflection in the field of social sciences, and confronts the challenges of a problematic variety from the ample reach of politics. There is a rich ethnological tradition to be explored in this field, but the difficulties of definition and delimitation of aimed dominion - the indigenous societies- already show very well how much its approach questions its own status of anthropological research, obligated to return about itself the reflection that it undertakes. As the amplitude of the field is so great, it is imperative to elect a focus. Because of the impossibility of creating a truly exhaustive panoramic, this course will search to show, with examples, the principal types of the indigenous Brazilian's situation, and the principal problems that the ethnology has to face when they are considered.
