TEIXEIRA, Carla Costa. National Health Foundation.: Brazilian policy for indigenous health seen through a museum. Etnográfica [online]. 2008, vol.12, n.2, pp.323-351. ISSN 0873-6561.
This article analyses Brazilian state policy for indigenous health based on the inquiry of the recent historical, political and managerial process that resulted in the creation, in 1991, of the National Health Foundation (Funasa). It attempts to bring together two lines of thought triggered by the examination of the Funasa Museum collection and by interviews with Funasa employees. The threads thus woven should make possible, on the one hand, (i) to trace a genealogy of the National Health Foundation, and, on the other, (ii) to highlight its role in setting the hurdles that prevent the consolidation of a political field of respect for diversity in indigenous health policy. The paper, therefore, consists of an approach which aims at pulling together biographic narratives with institutional memory.
