The Kaingang community sense is summed up as an ideal of conviviality as a political and affective group constituted through relationships fundamentally committed to the production of bodies (d) and relatives, whose duration shapes the spaces of sociality that characterize it as a political economy of the affections. If there is a “community”, it is because before it there is a complex web of interrelated actions within the scope of the houses. In this sense, the descriptive emphasis concerns the presentation of ways of conceptualizing home and community within an indigenous group, where each of these parts is composed of multiple spaces and woven through relationships ofparenting, each one being conceived in a particular way, according to the actions performed by the subjects that make it up. To this end, we opted for the description of some principles of indigenous aggregation that reveal a relational and political complexity linked to the production of kinship ties, “of people as relatives”.
