Nevertheless, the local knowledge is part of the culture and the culture is something alive and active that people carry inside themselves. The colonial regime changed, but its track and politics somehow remained commanding in the new local governments in the period of independence and post independence. But the people, who had suffered before because of the colonial situation, then by the civil war, never gave up living its culture the way they inherited from their ancestors in matters of knowledge, relationship and behavior. This research talks concretely about the Mozambican people. The aim of this research is to talk about Nyungwe s cultural etiologies of health, disease and cure from an anthropological and theological point of view: attendance, treatment and cure. Where do people find response for daily situations related to health? When a woman does not get pregnant, or a man does not manage to make a woman pregnant, how does biomedicine handle this issue? If the woman gets pregnant and does not manage to have the baby or if she has a spontaneous abortion during pregnancy period, how do the doctors from the hospital as well as the traditional doctor deal with this problem? The research aims as well to point out the role of the ancestors, traditional doctors within nyungwe s culture and from these categories to set a Christology reflection according to African and not Western ways / Durante o período colonial muitas práticas culturais dos povos africanos foram combatidas em nome da civilização. No entanto, os saberes locais fazem parte da cultura e a cultura é algo vivo e atuante que o povo carrega dentro de si. Mudou o regime colonial, mas seus rastos e suas políticas ficaram de alguma forma imperando nos novos governos locais nos períodos da independência e pós- independência. Mas o povo que antes sofrera com a situação colonial e depois com as guerras civis, nunca deixou de viver a sua cultura da forma como foi herdada dos seus antepassados em matéria de saberes, relacionamento e regras de conduta. É do povo moçambicano que a pesquisa está falando concretamente. A pesquisa pretende falar das etiologias de saúde, doença e cura na cultura Nyungwe, com um olhar antropológico-teológico: atendimento, tratamento e cura. Onde é que as pessoas encontram resposta para as situações quotidianas relacionadas à saúde? Quando uma mulher não consegue ficar grávida ou um homem não consegue engravidar uma mulher, como é que a biomedicina lida com essa situação? Se uma mulher fica grávida e não consegue ganhar o nenê ou quando ela tem abortos espontâneos no período da gravidez, como é que os médicos da medicina hospitalar assim como os médicos tradicionais lidam com esse problema? A pesquisa quer também trazer à tona o papel dos ancestrais, dos médicos tradicionais dentro da cultura Nyungwe e a partir destas categorias re-pensar a cristologia nos moldes africanos e não ocidentais
