This text presents the results of a Doctorate research on Mathematics Education carried out from an experience in Ethnography, with the Apyãwa Indigenous people, inhabitants of the Urubu Branco Indigenous Area, located in East Araguaia, Mato Grosso, Brazil. The main goal was to compose a set of studies and reflections on Indigenous people knowledge and their epistemologies, interpreted from the flow of Apyãwa people's social speech, from the perspective of Ethnomathematics Program. The reflections were made round the theme Indigenous Time Markers, which express knowledge produced from different ways of relating to the environment that they inhabit. This work was organized guided by the understanding of culture defined by Geertz (2008), as a symbolic web woven into the relationship between the ethos and the worldview of a people who in weaving it, establishes links and attaches to it. The Apyãwa people produce, socialize and update their knowledge, which analysis gives rise to Ethnography. The immersions took place over the years 2013 and 2014, 15 days each on average, and were interspersed with periods of detachment of the field for discussions and reflections with the supervisor and research group. The ethnography practiced with the Apyãwa people represented the possibility of realizing the cultural web being woven; of participating in a historical period of knowledge being produced, updated and taught as an intrinsic part of their cultural practice, and of hearing the narratives which explain and justify this practice. Finally, it was the possibility of contemplating, in all of this complexity, the nuances of personality, the way to interact with each other and with the environment in which they live, that constitute the Apyãwa people and that distinguishes them as a cultural group
