Paper long abstract:

This paper is mainly focused on reports of violence suffered by women, children and indigenous youth.

Although this literature is poor, it becomes even less when it comes to violence practiced by the indigenous population.

The stories that will work is a result of 13 years of experience with young people, women and children, indigenous to the the Dourados Reserve, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil.

Considered the most populous and violent Indigenous reserves in Brazil, it is located between two cities in the States considered the cradle of soybean exports and ethanol.

Faced with this reality we address livings in the stories together (they and I) with the purpose of presenting this as a being such arduous process of cultural dialogue between Western and indigenous population.
