Memory, violence, and history

Objective: to analyze the construction of representations of health care in the drawings, stories and prayers inscribed in the Makuxi Tarumu leaflets.Method: This is a historical-anthropological, documentary that used elements of New Cultural History from the perspective of the Historian Roger Chartier and ethnography.The research was carried out at the Indigenous Documentation Center (IDC) in Boa Vista-RR-Brazil.The leaflet entitled Makuxi Tarumu (Makuxi Prayers), volumes I and II, of 1987 was used as the object document.Results: In the Makuxi prayers, written in the Makuxi Tarumu leaflets, the representation of care appears in all prayers in a supernatural form, where the spiritual authority makes an evocation, interfering in the natural world.The prayer and the shaman are the authorities.Conclusion: The prayers preserve remarkable features of the Makuxi culture without religious syncretism, although it was produced by the Diocese-RR.
