Based on the recognition of legal pluralism, this thesis aims to analyze the norms that are specific to the Kamayurá indigenous people. From an internal perspective, the aim is to investigate the regulatory mechanisms that govern this society and the way that such rules are manifested on their oral expression and customs. The assumptions are based on research of the alleged inferiority of customary law in relation to positive law in force. In order to verify legal monism theoretical foundations, questions are raised on the veracity of the proposition according to what the written law, codified and based on the figure of the State, promotes more legal certainty than the common law, characterized by orality and the absence of the State. The analyses made in this work are based on theoretical and empirical research. By undergoing a literature review, it is intended to discuss the treatment given by State law to indigenous rights and to demonstrate the importance of recognizing legal pluralism in order to secure ethnic diversity in the country and for the construction of intercultural dialogue. To elucidate this plurality, Kamaiurá society is used as a study case, being this society structured by rules immersed in their social body. The field surveys, which were divided into two stages, allowed identifying the way customary law is organized in relation to the dynamics of this society. In general terms, the research demonstrates that the regulation and organization of the Kamaiurá society are not dependent upon positive law in force. They communicate in an effective way their entire cultural structure to set standards of social behavior, adopting postures sometimes rigid, sometimes more flexible. Taking into account the valorization of the community, rules enforcement is guided by joint deliberation, which transcends the idea of an unchanging traditionalism in order to ensure social welfare
