The process can be understood as an appropriation of the tools of modernity that provides an indigenous and dissonant narrative of the missions, counters discrimination and affirms the Mbya-Guarani when they negotiate with the state. However, the research also revealed that the conceptualisation of tava is based on a different ontology from modernity–on which the category of heritage is still based–that is related to the importance for the Mbya-Guarani of building good and beautiful bodies and social relations by wandering through the land left to them by the gods and following the precepts and signs of the latter. Instead of perpetuating the hierarchies between ontologies, the article brings to light the ontological conflicts with the objectives of overcoming the limitations of the policies of recognition and enhancing the perspective of heritage as a regime of care not only for objects, places and practices, but also for the people and worlds for whom these things are heritage.10aBrazil10aIndigenous heritage10aMbya-Guarani10aOntology1 aLacerda, Rodrigo  uhttps://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85111703109&doi=10.1080%2f13527258.2021.1958362&partnerID=40&md5=243bef902f3f1fa98bee785d9243d563
