Abstract

Based on the ethnography of the encounter between Waifipi from Amapari, Brazil, and Waifipi from Oiapoque, French Guiana, this article introduces a discussion about intercommunitary comunication in Guiana. Its focus is above all on ritual moments, recognized as champs of exchange and struggle of different points of view and discourses on the fact of living in such a situation which one may refer as “interethnic”.
