Despite the violences, silencings and erasures they suffered, indigenous peoples have been building processes to resist and create meaning to the ways of life that constitute their worlds, anchoring their continued existences and reinventing themselves. The struggle and protagonist of indigenous women is an expression of resistance and of decolonization of Might, Being, Knowledge and Gender. This article seeks to: identify the protagonism of indigenous women facing gender issues; problematize Hegemonic Feminism; identify the main claims of the movements of Indigenous Women; and acknowledge the decoloning vein of the presence of their movements e reconhecer o teor descolonizante of their movements in strugles for land, health, rights and against sexual violence. The movements of Indigenous Women, made of their various associations, enact a decolonizing force in the scenario of the collective strugles of indigenous peoples, as in strugles specific to gender issues.
