Nursing theories are extremely important guides that help professionals to create, test and improve specific knowledge, as well as to facilitate the understanding of actions, objectives and purposes of practice, education and research. Because it is a study that requires the involvement of nursing practices in the light of knowledge about theory, with little scientific evidence, the present study aims to analyze the role of nurses in indigenous communities in the light of Madeleine Leininger's theory of Transculturality. The interest in the theme arose through my professional practice working in indigenous areas and living with these culturally different populations. For that, a descriptive, exploratory research with a qualitative approach was carried out. The study was carried out with five nurses who work in villages belonging to the Polo Base of Guarapuava/Dsei Litoral Sul, four villages of the Kaingang ethnic group and one of the Guarani ethnic group. The data were analyzed through content analysis, in the thematic modality, using a semi-structured interview, composed of open questions, constructed through a script, which included the identification data and questions addressed from the object of investigation, from according to the initial objective of the work. After this process, four categories were created, which were discussed and compared with the available literature on the subject. It appears that it is not enough for nurses to select a theory to base the nursing process, it is also necessary for them to deepen their knowledge in anthropological concepts such as "culture" and "cultural relativism", it is emphasized that in this research nursing did not receive adequate preparation to deal with the indigenous population and all its peculiarities, which is why they face several challenges in their professional attributions. However, when nurses work in indigenous health, it is essential that they understand beyond understanding the values, representations and practices that make up the symbolic health system of each particular people. Therefore, such workers must be trained and prepared to face this reality, being able to use available instruments and facilitators to provide quality care. It was concluded that there are no studies about anthropology and the indigenous population in the curriculum of academic nursing training, participants acquire knowledge in their daily practice, living with the community, observing their way of life, their customs and beliefs, valuing sociocultural aspects , experiential and subjective data, even without the use of Madeleine Leininger's theory of Transculturality.
