Abstract
This research paper analyzes the specificity of anti-indigenous racism and its relationship with the temporal milestones of colonization. In a qualitative and bibliographical approach, it lists axes of erasure of indigenous identities (ethnogenocide). They are: the requirement for living on demarcated land; the indigenous language; the stereotypical appearance and the notions of “descendant” and “brown”. 37 Final Papers from the Atlantic Forest Indigenous Degree Course, from the Federal University of Santa Catarina, authored by Guarani academics, were read. The central arguments of these works were emphasized, especially those relating to Guarani indigenous identity and whiteness. Through the Scielo Platform, an analysis of articles on whiteness, published between 2018 and 2022, was carried out. It revealed an erasure of indigenous issues. In Guarani works, the specificity of anti-indigenous racism were highlighted, grouped under the ethnogenocide category. The research conclusion points out the importance of indigenous cosmogonies and their temporalities as means of reforesting the imagination.
