Abstract

This article deals with a study about the pipes used between Mbyá-Guarani indigenous groups of villages near the city of Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul. In order to study the use of tobacco and smoking practices – in pipes (petynguá) – we looked through the ethnographic practice, understanding how and to what extent this use occurs and what it means for these groups. Bring it also references in ethnographic work on the use of tobacco among other Amerindian ethnic groups in order to provide some understanding of this theme, in order to enhance the appreciation of the practice of smoking as an essential part of sociocosmology many Amerindian groups.
