This article aims to: a) present theoretical discussions about the terms used to designate indigenous groups that were considered extinct and are designated as “resurrected”, “emerging” and/or “resistant”; b) describe and analyze aspects of the history, "resurgence" and resistance of the Puruborá people, an ethnic group that had their identity denied by the Fundação Nacional do Índio (Brazilian governmental protection agency for the indigenous peoples) in the 1990s and later recognized by the agency in 2003, which currently struggle for the strengthening of their identity, revitalization of their culture and demarcation of their traditional territory. The data was obtained from research conducted in the Aperoi Village (city of Seringueiras, state of Rondônia). It is an ethnographic study that used as tools for production data document analysis, participant observation, field journaling and interviews, guided theoretically by authors from the fields of education, psychology and anthropology. The analysis was performed through the triangulation of data produced by different instruments. The results indicate that this is a resilient group of people living in a historic, political and social context that favors the revitalization, (re)building and strengthening of their indigenous identity.Downloads
