Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento CientÃfico e TecnolÃgico / Este trabalho de orientaÃÃo etnogrÃfica tem o objetivo de apresentar a formaÃÃo histÃrica do grupo indÃgena Pitaguary e o processo de reconstruÃÃo da tradiÃÃo do ritual do torÃ. Busquei mostrar o processo de articulaÃÃo polÃtica na construÃÃo da etnicidade Pitaguary e a resultante mobilizaÃÃo cultural de sinais e emblemas de diferenciaÃÃo Ãtnica evidenciados no ritual do torÃ. O intuito à refletir sobre a experiÃncia histÃrica dos Pitaguary que culminou na organizaÃÃo de seu torÃ. Assim, ao mesmo tempo em que produziu o torà como "sua tradiÃÃo", os Pitaguary "deram" mais forÃa na afirmaÃÃo das tradiÃÃes Ãtnicas dos povos indÃgenas do CearÃ, ampliando a distributividade de alguma modalidade particular do ritual no Nordeste. / This work of ethnographic orientation has the objective of presenting the historical formation of the indigenous group Pitaguary and the process of reconstruction of the tradition of the ritual of the torÃ. I tried to show the process of political articulation in the construction of the Pitaguary ethnicity and the resulting cultural mobilization of signs and emblems of ethnic differentiation evidenced in the ritual of the torÃ. The intention is to reflect on the historical experience of the Pitaguary that culminated in the organization of his torÃ. Thus, at the same time that it produced the torà as "its tradition", the Pitaguary "gave" more force in the affirmation of the ethnic traditions of the indigenous peoples of CearÃ, amplifying the distribution of some particular modality of the ritual in the Northeast.
