Abstract(s)

Indigenous Lands (TI) are territorial portions which, after undergoing an administrative process of demarcation, guarantee the possession and enjoyment by one or more indigenous communities. Certain economic activities are developed on these lands, including tourism. This study seeks to gain an understanding of the social representations (RS) in the development of tourism in the Terena Nation lands and the society of Aquidauana (Brazil) involved directly and indirectly in the tourist activity on the Terena Indigenous Lands and its potential development. To carry out the research, different methodological procedures were chosen. Primary and secondary bibliographic sources were used and contact was established with the Terena Nation through direct unstructured observation, in the TI Limao Verde and Taunay/Ipegue, also including reclaimed areas. In addition, dialogue-based interviews were conducted with non-indigenous social actors from the urban and rural areas of Aquidauana. For the treatment of SR, the Discourse of the Collective Subject (DCS) analysis methodology was used. It is concluded that the interviewees veiled racism and other prejudices. As a consequence, there is skepticism as to the ability of the Terena people to manage tourism on their land.
