Objetivo. Nesta investigação, analisa-se a dinâmica demográfica dos índios Kaiabi do Parque Indígena do Xingu (PIX), Mato Grosso, Brasil, no período 1970-1999. Métodos. Análise transversal e longitudinal da dinâmica demográfica, com base em nas informações do registro de eventos vitais da população das aldeias Kaiabi do PIX, gerados pelo programa de saúde da UNIFESP no Xingu, apoiados por levantamento histórico e etnográfico. Resultados. O contato com a sociedade nacional, nas décadas de 1920 a 1950, na região do rio Teles Pires, deu origem à depopulação das aldeias por confrontos e epidemias e à migração de parte dos Kaiabi para o Xingu. Em 1970, havia 204 no Parque e em 1999, 758. O crescimento da população foi de 4,5% ao ano, a taxas bruta de natalidade é alta ( 53,7 por mil habitantes) e de mortalidade baixa (8,1 por mil habitantes). Na população, 56,2% são menores de 15 anos de idade, sendo a taxa de mortalidade infantil de 15,2 por mil nascimentos vivos, em razão de um programa de saúde indígena existente na área desde 1965. A recuperação demográfica desta população se assemelha a do conjunto da população do Xingu, também atendida pelo programa de saúde. Destaca-se a analise da fecundidade por coortes acompanhadas por períodos de 35 anos, e a importância da coleta sistemática de dados demográficos para populações indígenas. / Objective. This study analyses the demographic dynamic of the Kaiabi a indigenous people of the Xingu river, Mato Grosso, Brazil, from 1970 to 1999. Methods. The demographic survey included cohort and period analyse, with vital statistics from the health service of the Xingu Indigenous Park. Results. Contact with Brazilian national society, established in the 1920 and 1950, in the Teles Pires river region, caused a population drop due to clashes and epidemics. In 1952, a part of the Kaiabi group start to migrate to the Xingu region where they live at present. In 1970 there where 204 individuals in the Xingu villages and in 1999, 758. The crude birth rate is higth (53,7 per thousand inhabitants) and the death crude rate low (8,1 per thousand inhabitants). The majority of the population is under 15 years of age (56,2%) and the infant mortality rate is low or moderate (15,2 per thousands live births ), considering indigenous communities on general, because a health indigenous program is installed on the area before 1965. The demographic recovery starts at 1975 and is similar to that others indigenous Xingu groups. The research highlights the importance of a analyse of fertility cohorts about 35 years.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Esron Soares Carvalho Rocha.pdf: 1656624 bytes, checksum: 9da4d4e6670ca378c18430e36df82a61 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2008-10-02 / CAPES - Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / This study is characterised as ethnography of the sanitary practices developed at the Rio Negro Indian Sanitary Special District (DSEI), highlighting the work organization of nursing professionals, such as, nurses, nursing technicians and the Indian health-care agent. Its aims comprise the sanitary practices employed by the Indian Health-Care Multidisciplinary Team (EMSI) nursing corps regarding the provision of differentiated attention to health-care as it interacts with the Baniwa Indian health-care agent (AIS), his forming process and sociodemographic profile; social representations and sanitary practices, seeking to grasp his compatibility and/or incompatibility with the policy of differentiated attention to the Indian health-care subsystem. The present research entails a prospective, descriptive, qualitative type study, directed by the interpretative model of the social representation theory and health evaluative survey. The findings here obtained show that the Baniwa AIS, faces problems regarding his low schooling, along with the fact that his professional forming process has advanced very little since the DSEI was implemented six years ago. The EMSI acting profile is marked by the care treatment model to the spontaneous demand, even though the professionals provide care for diseases of the infectious, chronic-degenerative type to specific population groups (mother-child group), with detriment to health surveillance components presupposed on the design of the National health programs. Among the set of essential activities developed in the DSEI, the travelling logistics consumes a large part of the EMSI time and energy, with negative implications on the health-care agent overseeing and followup as well as on the implementation of the differentiated attention principle presupposed by the National Indian Health-Care Policy. The areas are still greatly patched and the differentiated attention gets mixed up with the extension of the coverage provided by the DSEI Implantation. / O estudo se caracteriza como uma etnografia das práticas sanitárias desenvolvidas no DSEI Rio Negro, com ênfase na organização do trabalho dos profissionais de enfermagem, aí compreendidos o enfermeiro, o técnico de enfermagem e o agente indígena de saúde. Os objetivos compreendem a análise das práticas sanitárias do corpo de enfermagem da Equipe Multidisciplinar de Saúde na oferta de atenção diferenciada à saúde e em interação com o agente indígena de saúde; do perfil-sócio-demográfico e o processo de formação dos Agentes Indígenas de Saúde (AIS) Baniwa; das representações sociais e práticas sanitárias dos AIS, buscando apreender sua compatibilidade e/ou incompatibilidade com a política de atenção diferenciada do subsistema de saúde indígena. A pesquisa é um estudo exploratório, descritivo, do tipo qualitativo, orientado pelo modelo interpretativo da teoria das representações sociais e da pesquisa avaliativa em saúde. Os resultados obtidos mostram que os AIS Baniwa enfrentam problemas ligados à baixa escolaridade, e que seu processo de formação profissional pouco avançou após 6 anos de implantação do DSEI. O perfil de atuação da EMSI é marcado pelo modelo assistencial curativo à demanda espontânea, ainda que os profissionais efetuem assistência a agravos de tipo infeccioso, crônico-degenerativo e de grupos populacionais específicos (grupo materno-infantil), com prejuízo dos componentes de vigilância a saúde previstos na organização dos programas nacionais de saúde. Dentre o conjunto de atividades essenciais desenvolvidas no DSEI, a logística de deslocamento consome grande parte do tempo e energia da EMSI, com implicações negativas na supervisão e acompanhamento dos agentes de saúde e na implementação do princípio da atenção diferenciada previsto na Política Nacional de Saúde Indígena. As áreas são ainda bastante fragmentadas e a atenção diferenciada se confunde com a extensão de cobertura provida pela implantação do DSEI.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / Este estudo teve como objetivo levantar as causas de morbidade hospitalar da população materno-infantil Yanomami, residente nos estados de Roraima e Amazonas, no período de 2008-2012. As causas de hospitalização foram pesquisadas nas Autorizações de Internação Hospitalar e Documentos de Registro de Internação Hospitalares de dois hospitais públicos da cidade de Boa Vista/RR, o Hospital da Criança Santo Antônio e o Hospital Materno Infantil Nossa Senhora de Nazareth, referencias para a população sob responsabilidade sanitária do Distrito Sanitário Especial Indígena Yanomami. Foram localizados 1023 registros de crianças e 332 registros de internação obstétrica nos arquivos dos referidos hospitais. As principais causas de hospitalização infantil, segundo a Classificação Internacional de Doenças foram: doenças do aparelho respiratório (53,9%); doenças infecciosas e parasitárias (19,5%); e doenças nutricionais (12,1%), caracterizando hospitalizações por condições sensíveis à atenção primária. Os menores de um ano foram responsáveis pelo maior número de internações e pelas maiores taxas de mortalidade hospitalar e ao longo dos cinco anos pesquisados observou-se um aumento das internações por doenças do aparelho respiratório. Entre as internações obstétricas predominaram as hospitalizações por assistência ao parto (51,5%); seguida das intercorrências clínicas na gravidez (32,8%); aborto (11,4%) e intercorrências clínicas no puerpério (4,2%). A maioria dos partos realizados foram partos espontâneos, no entanto, a taxa de parto cesáreo foi superior a preconizada pela Organização Mundial de Saúde. Predominaram as internações das mulheres entre 15 e 35 anos de idade, não foi observado registro de óbito materno no período do estudo. A análise das hospitalizações por regiões da Terra Indígena Yanomami demostra perfis diferentes e situações complexas para as regiões com os menores coeficientes de internação, relacionadas à dificuldade de acesso aos serviços de saúde. / The aim of this study was to identify the causes of morbidity in maternal and child Yanomami population, from Amazonia, Brazil, in the period 2008-2012. The causes of hospitalization were investigated in two public hospitals located in Boa Vista, Roraima, Brazil: Hospital da Criança Santo Antônio and Hospital Materno-Infantil Nossa Senhora de Nazareth, both hospitals are the only references to the population under health responsibility of the Distrito Sanitário Especial Indígena Yanomami. It was identified 1023 records regarding to children hospitalization and 332 records regarding obstetric hospitalization. The main causes of hospitalization among children, according to the International Classification of Diseases were: respiratory diseases (53,9%); infectious and parasitic diseases (19,5%); and nutritional diseases (12,1%), this profile of hospitalization causes is in accordance with poor health conditions. Children under one year old were responsible for the highest number of hospitalizations and the highest rates of hospital mortality. During the five years surveyed observed an increase in hospitalizations for respiratory diseases. Among obstetric admissions predominated hospitalizations for childbirth care (51,5%); followed by clinical complications during pregnancy (32,8%); abortion (11,4%) and clinical events after delivery (4,2%). Most deliveries were vaginal deliveries, however, the rate of cesarean section was higher than recommended by the World Health Organization. Women between 15-35 years old were responsible for the highest number of obstetric hospitalization, no record of maternal death was observed during the five years of survey. The analysis of hospitalizations in the different regions of Yanomami Territory demonstrated different profiles and complex situations in the regions with lower rates of hospitalization related to poor access to health services.

A população indígena brasileira compreende mais de 900 mil indivíduos distribuídos por todos os estados da Federação. Diversos estudos têm apontado para a deterioração da saúde bucal dos povos indígenas ao longo das últimas décadas, embora dados epidemiológicos ainda sejam escassos. A transição para um modelo alimentar baseado em uma dieta rica em gorduras, açúcares e alimentos refinados tem sido indicada como um fator contribuinte para o desenvolvimento de doenças como a obesidade e a cárie dentária em diferentes populações. O objetivo deste estudo é analisar o perfil epidemiológico de saúde bucal da população indígena adulta residente na Terra Indígena Guarita, bem como investigar aspectos subjetivos e determinantes sociais relacionados. Buscou-se, ainda, analisar a experiência de cárie dentária nos povos indígenas da América do Sul. Foi realizada uma revisão sistemática da literatura e meta-análise referente à severidade de cárie dentária em povos indígenas que habitam países sul-americanos. Além disso, foram conduzidos grupos focais com as etnias Kaingang e Guarani da Terra Indígena Guarita. Os dados produzidos foram analisados por meio da metodologia Grounded-Theory e interpretados a partir da teoria do sociólogo Pierre Bourdieu. Adultos com idade entre 35 e 44 anos de ambas as etnias foram examinados em relação à experiência de cárie, necessidade de tratamento, e uso e necessidade de prótese dentária. Participantes responderam a Escala Brasileira de Insegurança Alimentar, a versão curta do questionário Oral Health Impact Profile, e a uma entrevista estruturada sobre dados sociodemográficos e uso de serviços odontológicos. Foram observadas altas experiências de cárie entre povos indígenas da América do Sul, contrastantes com a redução da prevalência da doença na população não indígena. Interferências nos sistemas alimentares indígenas afetam aspectos da identidade cultural, da organização social e da saúde das comunidades indígenas Este fenômeno implica em percepções de vulnerabilidades de saúde bucal e tensões entre o modelo biomédico e as práticas tradicionais de cura. Participantes (n = 109) apresentaram média de dentes cariados, perdidos e obturados de 14,45 (± 5,80). Cerca de dois terços do valor do índice foi composto por dentes perdidos. Necessidade de tratamento foi observada em 93% da população. Foram observadas altas frequências de necessidade de prótese e de experiência de perda dentária. Diferenças significativas na prevalência de dentição funcional foram observadas em relação a sexo e tempo da última consulta odontológica. Cerca de 94% dos participantes vivem em domicílios em situação de insegurança alimentar. Maiores pontuações de insegurança alimentar apresentaram associação com o recebimento do benefício Bolsa Família, maior densidade domiciliar e maior percepção dos impactos da saúde bucal na qualidade de vida. A presença de insegurança alimentar severa foi mais prevalente entre indivíduos que vivem em domicílios com mais de 5 moradores e aqueles com maior pontuação no instrumento OHIP-14. Este estudo apresenta dados epidemiológicos importantes para a compreensão das condições de saúde bucal dos povos Kaingang e Guarani, assim como para o planejamento de serviços de saúde culturamente apropriados para as necessidades desta população. / The Brazilian indigenous population comprises more than 900 thousand individuals distributed throughout all states of the Federation. Several studies have pointed to the deterioration of oral health of indigenous peoples over the last decades, although epidemiological data are still scarce. The transition to a food system based on a diet rich in fat, sugars and refined foods has been pointed out as a contributing factor for the development of diseases such as obesity and dental caries in different populations, including native peoples. This study aims to analyze the oral health epidemiological profile of the adult indigenous population living at the Guarita Reservation, as well as to investigate associated subjective aspects and social determinants. It was also intended to analyze the dental caries experience in the indigenous peoples of South America. A systematic review of the literature and meta-analysis regarding the severity of dental caries in indigenous peoples living in South American countries was carried out. In addition, focus groups were conducted with the Kaingang and Guarani ethnic groups from the Guarita Reservation. The produced data were analyzed through the Grounded-Theory methodology and interpreted using the Pierre Bourdieu\'s theory. Adults aged 35-44 years of both ethnicities were examined regarding caries experience, treatment need, and use and need of prosthodontics. Participants answered the Brazilian Food Insecurity Scale, the short version of the Oral Health Impact Profile questionnaire, and a structured interview on sociodemographic data and use of dental services. High caries experiences were observed among indigenous peoples of South America, contrasting with the reduction of the prevalence of the disease in the non-indigenous population. Interferences in indigenous food systems seem to affect aspects of cultural identity, social organization, and health of indigenous communities. This phenomenon implicates in perceptions of oral health vulnerabilities and tensions between the biomedical model and traditional healing practices. Participants (n = 109) presented a mean number of decayed, missing and filled teeth of 14.45 (± 5.80). About two-thirds of the value of the index was composed of missing teeth. Need for treatment was observed in 93% of the population. It was observed a high frequency of prosthodontic need and experience of tooth loss. Significant differences in the prevalence of functional dentition were observed in relation to sex and time of the last dental visit. Approximately 94% of participants live in food insecure households. Higher food insecurity scores were associated with the Bolsa Família benefit, higher household density and greater perception of the oral health impacts on quality of life. The presence of severe food insecurity was more prevalent among individuals living in households with more than 5 residents and those with higher scores on the OHIP-14 instrument. This study presents important epidemiological data for understanding the oral health conditions of the Kaingang and Guarani peoples, as well as for the planning of culturally appropriate health services to the needs of this population.

La recherche se propose d'étudier des représentations cinématographiques de l'Indien et du monde indien en Colombie, depuis les origines en 1929-1930 et jusqu'à l'époque contemporaine. Elle identifie, répertorie, décrit et analyse une série d'éléments constitutifs des rapports que cette production cinématographique entretient avec les réalités sociales, culturelles ou ethnoculturelles de l'histoire colombienne, et, en particulier, avec le phénomène d'invisibilisation de l'Indien. Elle établit une périodisation en trois temps de l'histoire de cette production cinématographique en Colombie : 1] Période initiale ou de « découverte » de l'Indien et du monde indien par le cinéma colombien [1929-1964] ; 2] Période de redécouverte cinématographique de l'Indien [1968- 1980] ; 3] Période d'appropriation du cinéma et de l'audiovisuel par les cultures indiennes [1980-aujourd'hui]. La première est définie pour l'essentiel par les films d'évangélisation et de « civilisation », qui participent à la reproduction d'un imaginaire national excluant toute référence positive aux cultures indiennes ; la deuxième est caractérisée par la diversification des regards sur le monde indien, et, notamment, par l'utilisation du cinéma comme langage critique des formes de domination politique, économique, sociale et culturelle sur le monde indien ; la troisième est marquée par l'arrivée d'un nouveau support technique [la vidéo], l'auto-appropriation de son image par l'Indien et l'apparition de nouvelles pratiques cinématographiques en lien avec l'appropriation du cinéma et de la vidéo par les cultures indiennes. / This dissertation proposes to study cinematographic representations of the Indian and the Indian world in Colombia since the origins in 1929-1930 until the contemporary era. It identifies, classifies, describes and analyses a series of constituent elements of the relations that cinematographic production holds with social, cultural or ethno-cultural realities of the Colombian history and, in particular, with the phenomenon of the invisibilization of the Indian. It establishes three stages of the history of that cinematographic production in Colombia: 1] Initial period or “discovery” period of the Indian and the Indian world by the Colombian cinema [1929-1964] 2] Period of cinematographic rediscovery of the Indian [1968-1980] 3] Appropriation period of the cinema and the audiovisual by Indian cultures [1980-today]. The first period is defined essentially by films of evangelization and that of the “civilization”, which participates in the reproduction of a national imagery while excluding all positive reference to Indian cultures; the second is characterized by the diversification of the perspectives on the Indian world and notably, by the utilization of cinema as a critical language of political, economical, social and cultural forms of domination on the Indian world; the third is marked by the coming of a new technical support [the video], the auto-appropriation of their image by Indians and the apparition of new cinematographic practices in relation with the appropriation of cinema and video by the Indian cultures.

This master thesis is focused on the phenomenon of cultural appropriation and the use of American Indian imagery in American and European culture. In both cultures are American Indians represented by distorted image of the universal White Man's Indian, which leads to the perception of them only as relicts of the past. In the United States, Native Americans try to point out the negative impacts, which the distorted image has on them, but the dominant white society refuses to acknowledge the inappropriateness of such images. The master thesis focuses on the historical evolution of the Native American image in American and European cultures. The author explains why the image was distorted and why the distortion still remains in both cultures. Then, the master thesis examines examples of appropriation of the American Indian in contemporary culture. Considering the extensiveness of this topic, the author focuses only on one example of cultural appropriation, which is the issue of Native Americans mascots and sports logos. On the American continent, the author chose the most controversial case of the Washington football team - the Washington Redskins. Despite the long history of Native American activism against the Redskins brand, the team refuses to change their racist name and logo. In Europe, the...

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / The thesis, American Indian Foundations: Philanthropic Change and Adaptation, explores definition of the issues which impelled the development of grantmaking foundations as vehicles for American Indian community development. American Indian foundations are grantmaking foundations by and for American Indians. They frequently incorporate technical support, fiscal sponsorship and management of their own programs in ways which are unique to American Indians. The thesis is based on a case study and analysis of the formation and development of the Seventh Generation Fund for American Indian Development (and its predecessor the Tribal Sovereignty Program of the Youth Project), the first American Indian national public grantmaking foundation. The research design is based on primary source research and a literature review, augmented by a case study, and amplified by in-depth experience in the field of American Indian philanthropy. The literature review encompasses the relevant primary issues of the thesis and also covers an historical philanthropic review of influences on the development and inception of American Indian philanthropy. Original documents relative to these subjects were located in the manuscript and microfilm collection of the Wisconsin Historical Society, Madison; the Field Foundation Archives of the Center for American History at the University of Texas, Austin; and the Ruth Lilly Special Collections and Archives, and the Joseph and Matthew Payton Philanthropic Studies Library, both located at Indiana University in Indianapolis. The thesis is based on a primary research question and framed by six subsidiary questions. The thesis concluded that perhaps American Indian foundations were formulated to better serve their peoples in the absence of philanthropic attention. In addition they were formed to address underserved philanthropic needs in ways unique to American Indians. As well with regard to the case study, the primary reason for the founding of the first American Indian national grantmaking foundation was to apply the theoretical concepts of sovereignty and self-sufficiency into practicality in Indian country.

This study examines in depth the most common interpretation of the opening of the Third Seminole War (1855-1858). The interpretation in question was authored almost thirty years after the beginning of the war, and it alleges that the destruction of a Seminole banana plant garden by United States soldiers was the direct cause of the conflict. This study analyzes the available primary records as well as traces the entire historiography of the Third Seminole War in order to ascertain how and why the banana garden account has had such an impactful and long-lasting effect. Based on available evidence, it is clear that the lack of fully contextualized primary records, combined with the failure of historians to deviate from or challenge previous scholarship, has led to a persistent reliance on the banana garden interpretation that continues to the present. Despite the highly questionable and problematic nature of this account, it has dominated the historiography on the topic and is found is almost every written source that addresses the beginning of the Third Seminole War. This thesis refutes the validity of the banana garden interpretation, and in addition, provides alternative explanations for the Florida Seminoles' decision to wage war against the United States during the 1850s.

The following account is written to give the history of the Indians who have at one time inhabited southeast Texas, and of those who still inhabit it. The account begins with the history of each tribe as far back as any facts can be found concerning them and continues through their stay in Texas.

A survey was carried out among indians Terena, people that inhabit on the municipalities of Sidrolândia and Dois Irmãos do Buriti, Estado de Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. Was studied the prevalence of infection by intestinal parasites, infection markers for viral Hepatitis A, B and C, and for antibody against the viral diseases; Poliomyelitis 1, 2 and 3, Measles, Yellow Fever and Hepatitis B. The results were stratified by age and revealed that the parasitic infection affects 73.5% of the population studied, with high prevalence of the Blastocystis hominis. In the population above 10 years, more than 90% showed reactivity to the anti-HAV, absence of infection markers for Hepatitis B and C, respectively HBsAg and anti-HCV, and a rate of 16.7% (95% CI 12.6-21.3) for the anti-HBs. The prevalence of neutralizing antibodies against the measles virus and yellow fever virus was 96.7% (95% CI 93.9-98.3) and 91.4% (95% CI 88.0-94.7) respectively. The polio results showed that 62.2% (95% CI 56.5-67.6) 71.7% (95% CI 66.2-76.6) and 63.5% (95% CI 56.5-69.6) had antibodies against the types 1, 2 and 3, respectively, showing vulnerability to B Hepatitis, Yellow Fever and Poliomyelitis. / As condições de saúde da população indígena brasileira são pouco conhecidas, ocorrendo uma escassez de informações sobre a questão. Para estabelecer um entendimento dos aspectos que compõem esse panorama, foi realizado um inquérito entre os índios Terena que habitam os municípios de Sidrolândia e Dois Irmãos do Buriti, Estado de Mato Grosso do Sul, Brasil. Foram estudadas as prevalências de infecção por parasitos intestinais, de marcadores de infecção para as Hepatites virais A, B e C, e de anticorpos contra os vírus das enfermidades imunopreveníveis; Poliomielite 1, 2 e 3, Sarampo, Febre Amarela e Hepatite B. Os resultados foram estratificados por faixa etária e revelaram que a infecção parasitária acomete 73,5% da população estudada, com destaque para o encontro do Blastocystis Hominis, um agente pouco identificado no país. Na população acima de 10 anos, mais de 90% apresentaram reatividade para o anti-HAV total. Houve negatividade dos marcadores de infecção para as Hepatites B e C, respectivamente HBsAg e anti-HCV, e uma taxa de 16,7% (95% IC 12, 6-21, 3) para o anti-HBs.A prevalência de anticorpos neutralizantes contra o vírus do Sarampo e da Febre Amarela foi de 96,7% (95% IC 93, 9-98, 3) e 91,4% (95% IC 88-94, 7) respectivamente. Em relação à Poliomielite, 62,2% (95% IC 56, 5-67, 6) 71,7% (95% IC 66,2-76, 6) e 63,5% (95% IC 56, 5-69, 6) apresentavam anticorpos contra os Poliovírus tipo1, 2 e 3, respectivamente, demonstrando vulnerabilidade dessa população à Hepatite B, à Febre Amarela e à Poliomielite.
