This proposal aims to present the recovery of caiçara and Ilha de São Pedro, carried out between the 1970s and 1980s, as a fundamental part of the contemporary process of cultural rebirth of the Xokó Indians, implying the recovery of customs, habits and elements of the social organization. The territorial recovery became a fundamental factor that marked the lives of the Xokó and determined the future of the “caboclos of Caiçara”, who from then on would identify themselves as Indians. To return to the Xokó is to take something that was stolen from them, it is to take for themselves what rightfully belongs to them and was denied to them. But it is also a native category that articulates rights, collective mobilization, history, ritual and culture (Andrade, 2019) and in this way we will present the processes of territorial recovery, a moment that is characterized by the reconquest of the lands of Caiçara and São Pedro Island and resumption cultural, when the “caboclos of Caiçara” began to identify themselves as Xokó, they rescued their traditions, began to practice the toré until then prohibited by the land owners, and rescued Ouricuri, which was also a prohibited practice. The rescue of Ouricuri will bring about other changes in the cultural life of the Xokó of Sergipe. In the processes of (re)constitution, the search for unrevealed mysteries, in 2003 the revelation of the chief of Nature (chief Bá) will provoke the Cultural rebirth of the Xokó, the chief of nature was born in the Serra do Surubim; and the Xokó were reborn with a strong ancestral feeling. That day one could hear screams of the ancestral soul suffocated by genocidal pressures, thus marking a new era in the history of the Xokó, there it began to reconfigure itself as a people, to give new meaning to everything it had adopted as culture and tradition in 1979. For this reason, We can say that the Cacique's revelation can be seen as the last phase of the recovery, which is when the Xokó regain their indigenous essence. It is these reconquests, in the form of retakes, that determined the cultural rebirth of the Xokó people.
