This article aims to reflect about the migration process of the Terena indigenous people after the expulsion from their land in Mato Grosso do Sul State, and the consequent arrival to a new land, in Mato Grosso State. It is intended to highlight the knowledge produced in the path of struggle, point out some achievements and challenges that this nation has faced in those ten years to reconstitute themselves as an indigenous group. The conquest of an "Indian settlement" is placed as a determining factor before the presented challenges: the pressure exerted by the capital project, in the case of the attempted occupation of the lands, and the rebuilding of the Terena way of life, which during the migration process was intertwined with other cultures, not allowing new generations to identify themselves with a specific ethnicity. The school also faces this challenge, since it plays an important role within the indigenous settlement, as a space of encounters between the different subjects, cultures and knowledges. The achievements and advances do not guarantee acquired rights, hence signaling to new challenges. These indians learned during the migration process that rights are consolidated by the fight.Downloads
