Objective: To describe the practical experience of a health education action with indigenous women on breast and cervical cancers. Data synthesis: This is an experience report, conducted by multi-professional residents in Family and Community Health through action in collective health, carried out in June 2017, with adult and elderly women in the Nazaré indigenous community, located in the Lagoa de São Francisco, Piauí, Brazil. The theme of this action was the prevention of breast and cervical cancers, and it was decided to use the “myth or truth” dynamic, in a facilitation conducted by preceptors with their residents, which allowed them to add scientific and popular knowledge, clarify doubts and promote health education. Conclusion: The moment provided an emancipatory space for teaching and learning, so that debating the theme of breast and cervical cancers, within an emancipatory environment, required the facilitators to manage the use of a methodology based on Popular Education in Health, enabling the communication with the target audience based on their specificity, this being the greatest learning for the future practices of the program's residents.
