Our research is grounded in the assumption from Calvet’s Critical Sociolinguistics (2012), that linguistics object of study is the social community in its linguistic aspect. Thus, our work predicts linguistic study as a social study about the linguistic demands and their impacts in a given society. Tapuia people are one of the indigenous peoples from Goiás, remaining from the Aldeamento Pedro III or Carretão, which was established in the mid-eighteenth century and then it was abandoned by the Brazilian state. However, Xavante, Kayapó, Karajá, Black and Caucasian remaining descendants stayed in the territory and they are now the Tapuia people of Carretão. In the twentieth century, they have gone through a long process of spoils in their land and legal struggle, finally, after decades of confrontation, to receive the state's legitimacy to remain on their land in 1999. Throughout this process, the Tapuia people had their indigenous identity questioned by outside groups, especially about the language factor, as they were considered Portuguese speakers. We understand this questioning and surveillance of indigenous identity serves the interests of delegitimization of their identity to withdrawal their indigenous rights. Moreover, it also happens, as noted, through the maintenance of controlling images (Collins, 2000) imposed on Brazilian Indigenous. The concept of controlling images is adapted to this reality in the first chapter. The issue question of the research was within a context of imposition of Brazilian Indigenous controlling image, also characterized by language, Tapuia people from Carretão answer (collective, conscious and politically), to these responses we named sociolinguistic postures, denaturalizing these controlling images and creating new ways of being indigenous, and new ways to know language. Our goal is to problematize Tapuia’s decolonial (Quijano, 1992) sociolinguistic postures from the interpretation of its reactions to indigenous controlling image historically imposed on the Tapuia people. The methodology is texts interpretation we understand as localized in time-space when such controlling image imposition was exposed to the People: a) in the narratives of elderly men and women, in the 1980s; b) in Braggio’s research (1992); c) at the time of Tapuia teachers formation in the first decade of XXI century. To interpret these texts, the epistemological framework is Decoloniality and Critical Social Theory. Our theoretical approach to interpretation of the problem is based on the interface of Calvet’s Critical Sociolinguistics, Collins’ Social Critical Theory and Bakhtin’s Dialogism.
