Abstract

This text addresses the situation of indigenous people in the big city, through the pankararu located in São Paulo, Brazil. We recover the most general features of the historical and cultural route of the pankararu collective between the sertão and the metropolis, and describe a life path between them. The individual narrative introduces complexity and contradiction in the collective narrative and gives us access to a fundamental theme for the studies of migration or indigenous diaspora: the process of transposition and transformation of a tradition between radically different contexts
