Abstract

By examining tourism among the Pataxó of the Coroa Vermelha Indian Land, in the state of Bahia (Brazil), this article highlights two modalities of tourism observed at that place: one in which prevails an imperialist approach and other in which postcolonial discourse is more easily negotiated between Indians and the visitors. Based on ethnographic data collected in a varied manner over the last nineteen years, this paper focuses the discourses and performances present at that location in order to reflect on the agency that constitute meanings about those traditions and local heritage, and that highlights a memory on the Discovery of Brazil.
