Abstract

This article deals with an traditional Mbyá Guarani house, popularly known as the Indian house, which was installed for more than ten years in the courtyard of the Archaeological Museum of Rio Grande do Sul - Marsul. In narrating the life story of this house, questions arise about its nature. In order to describe the social relations that involve the construction of the house of the Indians, from the documentation filed in the Marsul, it is used the studies of perspectivist anthropology and anthropology of the objects to place its construction and musealization as an artifact in a circuit of goods based on reciprocity. It attempts to conceptualize the House of the Indians from the Mbyá perspective, through specific ethnographies, comparing symmetrically indigenous knowledge with modern Western knowledge.
