Summary: Indigenous literary narratives move between different temporalities, enacting plots and constituting a multiplicity of voices that evoke ancestry and tell stories. Thus, this research proposes a study on the following narratives: O Caçador e o Curupira (2023), written by Trudruá Dorrico (RR), from the Macuxi people; A Onça-pintada de Kauany, a Guardiã dos Segredos (2023), by Auritha Tabajara (CE), from the Tabajara people; Jibikí Porikopô, o Furto da Panela de Barro (2019), by Ariabo Kezo (MT), from the Balatiponé-Umutina people[1], and Os Raios Luminosos (2019), written by Jera Poty Mirim (SP), from the Guarani Mbyá people. Based on this selection, we seek to understand how ancestral time and historical time are represented in the literary plot, and how these temporal notions highlight events and experiences in tradition and contribute to the construction of meanings in the narrative. Regarding the investigative path, this study uses theoretical-bibliographical research. Thus, aiming to understand the history of these peoples and the different aspects (ethnic, historical, social, political and aesthetic) that are part of indigenous literature, we dialogue with scientific articles and theoretical productions by indigenous authors who address this theme, such as Graça Graúna (2018, 2013 and 2001); Kaká Werá Jecupé (2020 and 2017); Márcia Kambeba (2021); Olívio Jekupé (2018 and 2009); Edson Kayapó (2021); Daniel Munduruku (2020, 2018, 2017 and 2009); Gersem Luciano Baniwa (2012 and 2006) and Trudruá Dorrico (2018). Furthermore, taking the historical perspective approach, we intend to observe the relationship between the Brazilian State and indigenous peoples in different contexts, based on the studies of some theorists, including: Manuela Carneiro da Cunha (2021), for her anthropological perspective on the
traditional knowledge and cultural rights of the indigenous people; Mércio Pereira Gomes (2021), for his point of view on indigenous people in Brazil and indigenous policies, and Maria Inês de Almeida (2009, 2004 and 1999), for her theoretical-critical work on indigenous literatures. In this way, we seek to demonstrate that ancestral time and historical time are symbolic elements present in indigenous literature that act in the narrative plot and constitute an important source of historical and cultural references of an ethnic group, being updated and re-signified, based on the social and political contexts in which they are inserted.
