The myth, to be established as such, is constituted by central-archetypal elements that are narrated and weaved by a specific group in a certain time-space. The strengthening of the myth happens through the practice of everyday actions full of symbolisms. The purpose of this research is to understand the imaginary and the symbolic recurrences narrated by the descendants of European colonizers about the Laklãnõ Xokleng tribe by the way of a case study in the city of José Boiteux – SC. To achieve such goal, we formulated a technique, called Semantic Association Technique, to collect data. Such technique consisted in presenting to the research collaborators seven semantic baits idealized after bibliographic studies done to sustain the research. The technique was applied to 20 different collaborators chosen in a random manner. In total, 140 reports were collected and analyzed trough the myth-criticism analysis approach proposed by Durand (1983, 1985). We can conclude that the archetypes that stood out in the reports were the hero – related to the colonizer and the pacifier –, the innocent – related to the comprehension of the Indian as someone who is not civilized –, the paternal and maternal – directed to the importance of family to the history of the city. Such archetypes based the symbolical representations of José Boiteux inhabitants. Therefore, those are the driving myths or central organizers that serve as base to the formation of symbolic representations and of the imaginary that surrounds José Boiteux since the beginning of its colonization and until the present days.
