    Abstract

    The article aims to explore the narratives surrounding the construction of the Pecém Industrial and Port Complex in Ceará, in opposition to the demands of the Anacé Indians for the demarcation of their territory, making visible the conflicts between the indigenous perspective and the State perspective that, allied to the national and international capital, it intends to guarantee the implantation of innumerable primary industries in the region. Resulting from a qualitative study that triangulates various methods (participant observation, free and semi-structured interviews, as well as bibliographic and documentary survey), I sought to reflect on the agency and mobilizations engendered by the Anacé so that their narratives, which directly conflict with the proposals. Ceará State, were made visible, thus making public other meanings of “development”.
