The connection space-time is interpreted according to ethnological data and rituals (spaces) analysis which indicate forms of social relation between Kaingang founded in the reciprocity of kamë and kanhru krë, patrilinearity and exogamic moieties. This reciprocity is constantly affirmed in the contexts intra and inter village through etiquette rules and institutional arrangement which involve, mainly, kinship, shamanism and leadership. In fact, Kaingang have relationships among themselves and with Others, who compose their cosmos, based on the interaction between those who belong to this or that moiety, kujá (xamã) and pa i’s (cacique) who articulate themselves, in this case, to found villages in the coastal area.Downloads
