RESUMO

The Waiãpi council,APINA, was officialy created (registration) in the year of 1996. This registration is a small part of a long historical process that began with the discussions about the territory land marking process, in the begining of the 80 s. The intensification of the contacts between this indigenous population with the non-indians population gave impulsion to an indigenous mouvement to create an instrument of political reivindication that was legitimated by the Brazilian Gouvernement, the council. In this work, I argument the place of this council in the Waiãpi internal political arena, its relations with the education project and the movements of incorporation and reisignification that the Waiãpi indiens have being doing towards the council. We try to show the mutual implications between the non-indian political organization institution - understood as an organization represented by chosen representatives that work for the whole community - and the waiãpi relation forms of political organization in the construction of the Apina council. We want also to demonstrate that the necessity of new qualities, as the knowledge of speak and write in portuguese to act in the new representation foruns, as the Apina, creates an internal differentiation among the Waiãpi. This differentiation gives support to a new form of dispute for the leadership: a dispute between the young generation and the traditional chiefs. This dispute is the result of the addition of these new qualities, as the portuguese knowledge, into these that defines a waiãpi chief.
