Indigenous migrations have received increasing attention from scholars from different countries, both because of their intensification and because of the interpretive challenges brought by the phenomenon. This article investigates the migration and spatial mobility of a group of Pataxó indigenous people who live between the Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte and the south of the State of Bahia. The analyzes were carried out based on a qualitative research methodology, based on interviews with the migrants. The theoretical framework used in the text highlights the transformations that the migratory phenomenon has been going through, with the creation of hybrid spaces and multi-local territorial networks of survival. These aspects are observed among different types of migrants, including indigenous people from several Latin American countries. The results of the present analysis are in line with these studies, as they describe the process by which the Pataxó articulate different points of the territory in a multilocal network, created through a process of migration and spatial mobility that has strong connections between these places. The study also highlights the dynamic elements of spatial displacements, which guarantee their perpetuation over time.
