Abstract
This text presents an analytical proposition for a better dialogue between the anthropology of children, a consolidated field, with studies about Indigenous Peoples. Starting from the perception that, on the one hand, studies on Indigenous children are also consolidated in Brazil, but, on the other hand, Indigenous studies and their comparative proposals have not yet taken them into account, and that recent analytical models have failed to incorporate children, I propose paths for this incorporation. The text discusses the revision of concepts that have marked anthropology, but sometimes persisted in Indigenous studies, and brings examples from ethnographies with Indigenous children in order to propose ways for Indigenous studies to take seriously what children have to reveal.
