Sapukai - o nhandereko mbya se transforma em turismo de resistência indígena no estado do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil

Abstract

The theme of tourism in indigenous lands and communities in the state of Rio de Janeiro is presented in this work, based on a contextualization of the various proposals for indigenous tourism in Latin America, until reaching the specific case investigated, the Sapukai Village, located in Angra dos Reis, on the Costa Verde, south coast of the state of Rio de Janeiro. This research, started in 2015, has as a research area orientation, the community-based tourism map launched by the tourism nucleus of the Traditional Communities Forum - Angra - Paraty - Ubatuba, which gave rise to the Nhandereko Community-Based Tourism Network . In this map, where the caiçara, quilombolas and indigenous experiences of the south coast of the state of Rio and the north coast of São Paulo are indicated, the Guarani villages Mbya Araponga, Itaxim de Paraty Mirim and Sapukai, the latter focus of reflections for this work, are those located in Rio de Janeiro. Thus, we search for the meanings of tourism, locally called community base, both in the field of representations and discourses, as well as local practices. Thus, when discovering paths and walking through this map, from the methodological perspective of Tim Ingold, what has been highlighted is that, in addition to the economic objective, the gain of the pira pire, between the practice of indirect or direct tourism , tourism in tekoa Sapukai, locally called community-based, reveals itself as an interlocutor of stories, which manifests nhandereko. The nhandereko that expresses itself in an experience that enables, not only the visibility of indigenous tourism, but also the political-territorial visibility of indigenous territories, a tourism of resistance in the state of Rio de Janeiro.
