SUMMARY:

In  June  2005,  in  the  Legislative  Assembly  of  Rio  Grande  do  Norte,  the  existence  of indigenous peoples in that state became public and gained visibility. However, this fact came into conflict with the narratives consolidated by the classical local historiography, which admitted a disappearance of these ethno-cultural identities in the state. In view of this, the objective of this research was to investigate how the memory of the indigenous disappearance in Rio Grande do Norte after the process of ethnic emergence of indigenous peoples in the state has been faced in the writings of the history of this state, and to identify the main ruptures and remains in these narratives throughout the period from 1994 to 2021. This issue is formed from the understanding that history books are places of memory (Nora, 1993), and that  in  these  spaces  there  are  disputes  that  are  fought  respecting  the  consolidation  of  a memory that meets certain political and social interests (Assmann, 2011; Chesneaux, 1995; Krenak, 1999; Menget, 1999). To do so, the Content Analysis (Bardin, 2007) is appropriated as a methodology and it is established two sets of sources to be investigated: the production of Regional History textbooks and the writings of the Indigenous History of RN prepared in the academic context, covering History and Anthropology works produced inside and outside state institutions. It starts from the year 1994 when continuing the analysis of indigenous themes in didactic works in RN started by Flademir Dantas (2020) and contemplates until 2021, as this is the year of the last work published before the beginning of the research. In this sense, one can see permanence in the ways of narrating the history of RN, such as the significant concentration of indigenous history in the Colonial Period, mainly taking into account the influence of the local classical historiography and school tradition. However, it was also possible to identify ruptures that aim to meet demands posed by the indigenous movement, such as the recognition of the existence of current indigenous peoples in the state, the production of research that prioritizes addressing indigenous agency and the work with oral memory from communities,  mostly  carried  out  in  the  area of  Anthropology. It was concluded  that  these  are  important  achievements  to  remedy  the  damage  caused  by  the memory of the indigenous disappearance in Rio Grande do Norte and an attempt was made to reflect on which paths can be followed to continue the construction of another history in the state.
