Abstract

The article aims to analyze the actions of the Brazilian Army in the Indigenous Communities of the Upper Rio Negro in the Brazilian Amazon. Punctuating the actions of the daily between the natives and the military in the region. Weber (1946) with his honor-value action and the traditional one, and Faria (2003) on the territory and indigenous territories of the Upper Rio Negro, and Silva (2016) with his analysis on the military family in a frontier platoon, punctuating at various moments the conflicts and agreements between military and indigenous people. We thus aim to understand the actions of both the military and the indigenous in and around the Military Organizations. The military obeying the military doctrine, and the indigenous communities with their intrinsic actions, belonging to the indigenous peoples of the region. The methodology is carried out through the bibliographical research, from material already published. Emphasizing the Upper Rio Negro in São Gabriel da Cachoeira-Am. We sought to analyze the justifications of both the Brazilian State and indigenous leaders in relation to the demarcation of lands, daily life in and around communities, and the insertion of indigenous frontier soldiers and their difficulties. The justification of the Brazilian State is to treat indigenous issues on Brazilian soil as a matter of national security, regarding the demarcation of indigenous lands of the Upper Rio Negro, thus seeking to regulate the daily life of the military and indigenous people through an ordinance with rules of conduct and respect adversities of indigenous peoples. The indigenous leaders of the Alto Rio Negro justify that the demarcation of indigenous lands should be continuous, aiming at the protection of their material and immaterial goods, as opposed to the Brazilian State, which aims to bring citizenship to these indigenous peoples, with health , education, leisure, which according to Faria (2003) this act has often characterized the traditions of the indigenous communities of the Upper Rio Negro.
