RESUMO

This dissertation consists of an ethnography of the modes of livelihood of the Enawene-Nawe indigenous society, who speak the Amak language, and live in the Juruena valley, in the northeast of the state ofMato Grosso. The practices of gathering, fishing and, especially, agriculture are described here in their technical and symbolical aspects, taking as a reference: (a) the environmental matrix of the region, typical of the transition between the Cerrado (the Brazilian savannah) and the Amazon forest, (b) the socio-cosmological aspect: the organisation of the social units involved in the production process and the cosmological references and (c) the connection and the linking of the economic activities expressed in the "native calendar" and in the manners of occupying territory
