摘要：This article sketches a brief overview of a portion of the indigenous works produced by the Kaiowá and Guarani in Mato Grosso do Sul or in schemes of collaboration with non - indigenous researchers, trying to identify to what extent they bring us the perception of an indigenous anthropology. The idea of collaboration, illuminated by the "ethnographic pact" exemplified by Davi Kopenawa and Bruce Albert (2015), makes us reflect on what characterizes collaboration and how it can be perceived in the dialogues and translations established around the writings indigenous peoples. We also discussed as a counterpoint research carried out by indigenous peoples of other ethnic groups, without the pretension of accounting for all indigenous anthropology in Brazil but seeking articulations with the production of some research carried out by Kaiowá and Guarani. Rather, it is a provocation of the multiple possibilities of perceptions about life and the relationships involved with multiverses, in which indigenous thought is exercised in indigenous writings from articulations with anthropological thinking. This leads us to the central question of the present text: what of indigenous anthropology has in what the Indians write? In the final part of the article, we inserted a reflection on the gender bias, discussing some researches carried out by Kaiowá and Guarani women, and we strive to identify differences in themes and approaches adopted by them.
