FIRST NOTES ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INDIGENOUS PEOPLES AND SERVIÇO DE PROTEÇÃO AOS ÍNDIOS (SPI) IN THE COASTLINE OF SÃO PAULO (1923-1967)

Abstract

between 1923 and 1967, the Indian Protection Service (SPI) acted on the coast of São Paulo through an Indigenous Post: the Bananal, which, throughout its history, was also called Peruíbe, Itanhaém and José de Anchieta. In this period, the SPI sought to concentrate and control the Amerindians who lived in several stretches of the Serra do Mar in a single space. On the other hand, the assisted Indians opposed the aforementioned indigenist policy. Thus, this article verses about the Amerindian performance in this indigenous post. Therefore, it proposes to articulate a historical ethnography, collecting the narratives referring to the past from the older inhabitants of the present villages to the historiographic research, based on the critique of primary and secondary sources of the SPI collection, under the care of the Museum of the Indian.
