Abstract
Drawing on Social Museology principles, this document presents and analyses the activities carried out in 2020 as part of the Karajá Presence Research Project, launched in 2017, into material culture, fabric, and colonial transits. We show how the mapping and study of collections of indigenous artifacts led to a health campaign in support of the Iny Karajá people. This group holds the knowledge related to the production of ritxoko, clay dolls which are the subject of our investigation. Furthermore, we share our understanding that life is the most significant heritage. Working for the survival of biological and cultural diversity must be a non-negotiable commitment of Museology since it is a domain that looks at the fate of things and their continuity.
