Resumo: | The goal of this paper is to understand how Itambacuri – which is born as an indigenous settlement and then became an indigenous colony – is integrated, over the long term, with the desire to transform the Mucuri Valley into a useful and productive territory. From the management of several sources, it was pointed out how the imposition of new political and administrative statutes are part of this proposal of conformation and legitimation of the north and northwestern region of Minas Gerais, facing diffuse interests of the Minas Gerais elites located in the other regions that comprised the so-called “mosaico mineiro” (Minas Gerais mosaic). It was found that the constitution of the indigenous settlement /colony of Itambacuri is an epitome which, due to its results, can be admitted as a sort of crowning of a persistent territorial appetite that aimed not only to eliminate obstacles, but to re-signify them and integrate them as pillars in the construction of a civilized, mestizo and Christian Minas Gerais. In this sense, the colony has perfected some ongoing space processes: i.) the fixation of the indigenous (transmuting it into national); ii.) the settlement of the region as a new population; iii) the space regulation process, that is, the definition of a new land statute; iv.) the organization of rules for the production, circulation and dissemination of agricultural and manufactured ideas and products. However, the most important aspect of this socio-spatial process of regional change was linked to the institution of new and more elaborate forms of work and management of the once indigenous land.

Keywords: Territory; Region; Northern Minas Gerais; Mucuri Valley; Indigenous Policy Notre objectif est de comprendre comment Itambacuri – né ‘aldeamento’ avant de devenir une colonie de populations indigènes – s'intègre, sur le long terme, au désir de transformer la vallée de Mucuri en un territoire utile et productif entre la fin du 19ème et le début du 20ème siècle. En mobilisant diverses sources, il est souligné comment l'imposition de nouveaux statuts politiques et administratifs s'insère dans cette proposition d’organisation et de légitimation de la région nord et nord-ouest du Minas Gerais. Il a été constaté que la constitution de l’aldeamento/colonie d'Itambacuri peut être admise comme une sorte de couronnement d'un appétit territorial persistant qui visait non seulement à éliminer les obstacles au progrès, mais à les resignifier pour les intégrer comme piliers dans la construction d'un Minas Gerais civilisé, métis et chrétien. En ce sens, la colonie a perfectionné certains processus spatiaux en cours : i.) la fixation des indigènes (les transmutant en nationaux) ; ii.) le peuplement de la région avec une nouvelle population ; iii) le processus de normalisation de l'espace, avec la définition d'un nouveau statut foncier ; iv.) l'organisation de règles de production, de circulation et de diffusion des idées et des produits agricoles et manufacturés. Cependant, l'aspect le plus important de ce processus socio-spatial de changement régional était lié à l'institution de formes nouvelles et plus élaborées de travail et de gestion de l'ancienne terre indigène. Mots-clés: Territoire; Région; nord du Minas Gerais ; Vallée de Mucuri ; Politique autochtoneNosso objetivo é compreender como Itambacuri – nascido aldeamento e depois transformado em colônia indígena – se integra, na longa duração, ao desejo de transformação do Vale do Mucuri em um território útil e produtivo na transição do século XIX para o XX. A partir do manejo de diversas fontes, assinala-se como a imposição de novos estatutos políticos e administrativos inserem-se nessa proposta de conformação e legitimação da região norte e noroeste de Minas Gerais. Verificou-se que a constituição do aldeamento/colônia de Itambacuri pode ser admitida como espécie de coroamento de um persistente apetite territorial que visava não apenas eliminar os obstáculos para progresso, mas ressignificá-los e integrá-los como pilares na construção de uma Minas Gerais civilizada, mestiça e cristã. Nesse sentido, a colônia aperfeiçoou alguns processos espaciais em curso: i.) a fixação do indígena (transmutando-o em nacional); ii.) o povoamento da região como uma nova população; iii) o processo de normatização do espaço, isto é, a definição de um novo estatuto da terra; iv.) a organização de regras de produção, circulação e disseminação de ideias e produtos agrícolas e manufaturados. No entanto, o mais importante aspecto desse processo socioespacial de mudança regional vinculava-se à instituição de novas e mais elaboradas formas de trabalho e gestão da terra outrora indígena.
