The present article aims to study the Indiginous conception created from narratives produced in government discourses. It was delimited the region of Rio Negro-PR, within the period 1853- 1890. As a fountain of research, we based our studies in the government reports, in the Selective Catalogue of Documents in Provincial Paraná (1853-1892), in bibliographic researches and in the oral history. It was noticed that the narrative adopted by the governmental organs related to the Indiginous, in the first contacts between the colonizers and the Indiginous, from the works made in the communities, contributed for the construction of the collective imaginary about the Indiginous, within the Rio Negro-PR region.
Key-words: collective imaginary; Indians; narratives.
