Abstract

This article presents, from the perspective of a Kaiowá intellectual, the way of understanding space in terms of the cultural meaning of the prayer house (óga pysy) within the tekoha - a term which, in addition to its translation as village or territory, refers to the place where the teko porã takes place, the way of living in beauty and perfection according to Kaiowá cosmology. This text was written to present the construction of an óga pysy at FAIND, UFGD's Intercultural Indigenous College.
