Abstract

I bring a set of images that represent the territories of health to the indigenous populations by the photoetnographic narrative. The images present one of the indigenous territories where multidisciplinary health teams work under the National Health System (SUS) within the scope of the Ministry of Health, through a model that prioritizes the action of professionals and health programs in the territory of the villages, affirming policies to encourage basic care. This record was made in the village of the Anambé ethnic group in the state of Pará.

The purpose of the registry is to rescue memories and sensitize the singularities inherent to these spaces when performing professional techniques and within the perspectives of health anthropology. It is possible, by observing the images, to identify social and cultural conditions, represented by regional houses of wood, afforestation and rivers. Following the images it is possible to observe free animals in the limits of the territory and the paths (river) traveled by the health professionals to access the village.

It is important to consider these facts because, since the first National Health Conference to indigenous peoples held in 1986, the representations have been questioning the professionals' deficit regarding the abilities and competencies to act in the subject of indigenous health. These assertions and needs aim to reduce inequities in health through a technical action that presents principles that safeguard the cultural values, knowledge and way of life of these peoples according to each ethnic group.
