This is an important reflection on how we, the Tupinambá people of the Tapajós river region, are practicing environmental and territorial protection politics. Here I discuss how we are still denied by society, but that, in fact, we are a first part of the history of Brazil. I present as an example the "II Tupinambá Ancestral Meeting" which deliberated for the manifesto in defense of life and love for the sacred Tapajós river, together with the Arapiun, Borari, Kumaruara and Tapuia ethnic groups. Finally, I reason that we will continue to resist the politics of the national state that they seek to infringe our territory and also on the conceptual struggle we wage for our ethnic affirmation.
