This paper has focus different social-discursive elements driven by different actors resulted by the establishment of Kaingang community (Tupeng-pó) in the Morro do Osso, located in Porto Alegre’s urban perimeter, a south brazilian capital. Therefore we persuit to analyze the relational tension between the different actors: non-indigenous urban inhabitants (environmentalists, ecologists, politicians and neibourhood assembly chairmen) and the Kaingang community Tupeng-pó. Retrieving the ambience concept of Baudrillard in the terms of a cosmological orientation that defines patterns and spatial dynamics we intent to analyze the perception of spaces like the city and the wood by the involved actors, therefore, in a conflictive context the ways that these ambiences are relating to each other.
