In this paper, I present some lived experience as and within indigenous women. The focus is on narratives and knowledge transmitted orally by our grandmothers, mothers, aunties, and mothers-in-law about what it means to be an “indigenous woman”. My intention is to explore the dilemmas in such a position, but also the political role of women from Rio Negro area, in the northeast Amazon. The proposition is based in oral narratives, point-of-view about knowledge and speeches by indigenous women and how they interpret it. It is highlighted the importance of these “knowledge” and how the experiences in the indigenous world are a key to the maintain traditions. It is a great accomplishment to showcase how women have their own theories to explain the existence in this world and how it is changed.
