This work had as object of analysis the process of affirmation of the ethnic identity of the Borari of Alter do Chão. It is an ethnographic study of how the construction of this identity affirmation, initiated after conflicts by the territorial possession in the year of 2003, and that includes many other elements that exceed the limits of the instrumentalist vision. The process observed among the Borari of Alter do Chão accompanied a phenomenon widely observed throughout the region of the Lower Tapajós River, where groups identify themselves as indigenous and come to claim from the state their recognition and the demarcation of their territories. The studies indicate that the process of affirming the indigenous identity of the Borari of Alter do Chão represents much more than a struggle for territorial possession, the phenomenon represents a change not only in the territorial configuration of Alter do Chão, but also in the social configuration, where it was believed in the extinction of the Borari as socio-culturally organized groups.
