In this text we will approach issues related to the processes of interculturality, indigenous peoples and the “Being Foreigner Feeling”. We will seek to show that the issue of the “foreigner” being goes a lot further than the geographical matters we thought a while ago. Today, with the facility of access to information, through the internet or the transportation facilities, the geographical barriers can be easily overcome. That being said, the sense of the term foreigner has been changed. We realized that being a foreigner has a lot more to do with the way of being, of feeling, than to territorial aspects and a determined place. In this perspective, the centrality of this text is to reflect about the cultural processes that took the natives of this land of Pindorama (Indians) to feel foreigners in their own lands.
