História indígena e os conflitos na Amazônia Colonial.(Séc. XVIII)

Abstract

The present work addresses the Indigenous History and the Conflicts in the Colonial Amazon, the objective is to talk about the indigenous historiography, in the colonial period, analyzing the colonial conflicts present in the narratives, observing the Indigenous History as a range of possibilities as a field of research. In addition, the research seeks to analyze the indigenous presence in the middle Solimões between the 18th century, as well as to understand how populations were decimated, and also how some resisted the colonization process. The methodology for carrying out this monograph was through bibliographic research, the survey of reference works on indigenous history. In which we observe that, in the colonial period, the transformations imposed on indigenous peoples, with the aim of civilizing them and promoting their economic development, resulted in the destruction of those contacted and submitted to that civilization plan, which Antônio Porro describes in “ History of the Indians in Brazil - Indigenous History of the Upper and Middle Amazons (16th to 18th centuries)”, how the occupation of the first settlers affected the demographic and cultural space of each indigenous nation in the Amazon region. But, even in the face of the acculturation process in the colonial period, in which parts of the indigenous nations were decimated and forgotten by Brazilian historiography, indigenous peoples wrote and lived their own history according to the possible possibilities that were available to them, and that all conflicts are relevant to current research, in the past these conflicts were repressed, and all this indigenous theme according to Moisés (1992) and Santo (2002) deserves to be researched and investigated in detail, so that the natives have their historical rights , rescuing the role that the Indian had in the colonization process with agents causing the governmental crises and the fruitful attempts that the Luso had to exterminate the Indians.
