According to the first registers made by partnerships between research groups and support, such as the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (RN) and the Pastoral of the Nomads of Brazil (Pastoral dos Nômades do Brasil), the state of RN has a Gypsy population of around 5 400 people. This population is distributed in twelve cities in the state, where 70% of this total are sedentary Gypsies. The aim of this study is to provide an initial mapping, drawing a picture of the situation in which they are. For this, we used qualitative methods, including present observation, as well as interviews and audiovisual registration along with the Gypsy comunities on the periphery of the city of Natal and in the interior of RN

Palabras clave : gypsies; Rio Grande do Norte; invisibility.
