Abstract

This work of historical Anthropology on the indigenous people of the Xucuru Ororubá aims to realize the presence of this ethnic group in the southern region of the Cariri Paraibano, from the process of Constitution of the territory since the colonization to the present day. We used the theoretical contributions of qualitative research and documentary research to add important data to the history of the State of Paraíba. The choice for this ethnic group was, first, by its great prominence on the national scene through its struggle for territory and the ethnic recognition that pervades the cultural and political relations; and second, by understanding that this group lived and their descendants still prevail in paraibanas lands. The data collected indicated that the Xucuru people, not only attended, but also contributed to the formation of the territory of Brazil, from colonization to the present day. Also point out that the presence of descendestes of the native peoples, including the Xucuru, paraibanas lands still prevails, especially in the South of Brazil Brazil.
