Resumo: A research on the issue of guardianship and freedom of the Indians in the second half of the century XVIII. The new regime intended to make the Indian chiefs allies of the Portuguese monarchy, incorporating them into the system. But this was not possible, alliances were only circumstantial. The villages turned into towns and places are "contact zones" where cultural exchanges and processes of ethnic and cultural mix occur. The Indian chiefs were subject living between two different worlds, they were the threshold of the frontier between these worlds, the filter through which the ideas of the Western Christian world passed. With the implementation of the Directory and the new laws of freedom of the Indians, the Indian chiefs felt threatened in their power by the presence the directors. According to the project Mendonça Furtado towns and places become spaces of confinement, where there should be strict control of manpower and production. However, this system eventually become fragile allowing great mobility for the Indians who constantly moved to work in the king's works, such as the construction of fortresses or expeditions in delimiting boundaries. In the Inspections made in the villages and places there were many Indians absent for reasons of escape and / or desertion, or by being in the service of the crown and often not reached the number of persons determined by the Directory to the villages that were 150 "souls". The same proportion as the slave raids intensified, also intensified the trails and formation of mocabos. Although the directory has not served its purpose expiring in Kingdom of Queen Mary I, its model has influenced Indian policy until the early twentieth century, in the Amazon and in Brazil as a whole
