Abstract

This article addresses the experience of one of the authors of the encounter with otherness, within a process of cultural valuation, which makes us think about issues such as otherness, ethnic identification and indigenous rights. This necessarily leads to a legal-anthropological approach to diverse and apparently controversial situations. In this exercise, it was possible to see how changing conceptual and legal perspectives can influence state interventions involving indigenous populations. Also, as the dignity of these populations is considered and their legal rights realized, more individuals will have the opportunity to understand their history and belonging more clearly. For that, a methodological resource of the life story narrated by one of the authors was used and analyzed based on a literature review of the addressed theme.
