During the decades from 1930 to 1970, the Indian Protection Service – SPI sought to introduce school education among the Javaé people of Ilha do Bananal/TO through technical instructions aimed at the development of agricultural activities to convert their population into rural workers, integrating them into national society through work. This purpose was characteristic of the SPI's indigenous policy which, in a complementary way, denied the Javaé knowledge-building structure around agriculture to justify their presence on Bananal Island. The Javaé, however, were not passive agents in this intercultural process, they acted in an anti-colonial way, maintained their sacred relationship with agriculture, and lived with the indigenous posts of the SPI, Damiana da Cunha and Canoanã, installed, respectively, in the villages Barreira Branca and Canoanã, resisting the objectives of the municipality's indigenous policy. As sources, SPI reports consulted at the Indian Museum in Rio de Janeiro/RJ, historical sources available in the archive of the Prelacy of São Félix do Araguaia/MT, interviews with Javaé historical agents, and an anthropological report were used.
