This text proposes a reflection on anthropology based on learning from various indigenous peoples, particularly those in the Brazilian Amazon. The ethics of respecting different beings, space, and time, which is integral to indigenous knowledge, is a crucial step toward achieving a countercolonial anthropology. To practice anthropology effectively, we must learn from those we study, understand the often implicit rules and limits of relationships, and be patient as this learning unfolds.I have learned that research, like walking in the forest, gathering, hunting, and fishing, also involves an ethical approach.It is necessary to follow rules and be cautious, avoiding the repetitive colonial approach to research and writing, refraining from perpetuating and ruminating on academia itself, and not writing from a colonial perspective.In this sense, Indigenous have warned me that it is necessary to be cautious with topics that non-Indigenous people might not fully understand, such as cannibalism, kinship, warfare, hunting, and gossip, as addressed in many ethnographies research. Depending on how these topics are approached, they can "defame," "speak ill," and generate even more prejudice.I understand that a truly ethical relationship in research requires constant dialogue, and the resulting text must first be approved by the people with whom one is working. This is a practice followed by many Indigenous researchers.
