Abstract
This article discusses the role of photography in constructing identity in the Paresi indigenous society. By analyzing the discourse of a historical period which is considered ideal by Indians (the Rondon Commission), this study contrasts the official view and the Paresi discourse as regards the theme. Rondon’s memoirs are used to introduce the group’s current issues. Photography is an important support to the history of different groups; among the Paresi, photography plays a role in connecting history and memory by constructing the basis to disseminate knowledge not only among the Paresi society but also to members of other indigenous and non-indigenous societies.
