Summary: During the first half of the 16th Century, indigenous resistance in this and other captaincies made clear to the Portuguese how hard it would be to colonize these areas. In the face of the challenges, the Portuguese Crown adopted a new policy that included the sending of Jesuits to America. In this context, the missions of Guaraparim and Iriritiba were created in the south of Espírito Santo. In 1742, Iriritiba, WHERE Father José de Anchieta lived during his later years, was the place of a series of uprisings that left civil and religious authorities startled. However, these events have never attracted the attention of the scholars. In order to make a contribution to a change in this panorama we started the rereading process of some works on the history of Espírito Santo. We also read the official correspondence on the uprisings in the light of the concepts of cultural circularity, hybridism, miscegenation and ethnogenesis that appear in the works of Carlo Ginzburg, Guillaume Boccara, John Manuel Monteiro, Ronaldo Vainfas, Eduardo Viveiros de Castro, Manuela Carneiro da Cunha, Michel de Certeau e Maria Regina Celestino de Almeida. At first, we notice that despite the efforts of those authors to present a dual narrative in which colonized and colonizers were conditioned in watertight compartments theirs writings brought evidences that contradicted this simplistic representation. This thought was strengthened by the publication of the judicial processes maned Autos de Devassa in 1761 organized by the Inquisition to investigate alleged irregularities carried out by Ignatians during their stay in this captaincy. By reproducing the testimony of the natives who lived in Guaraparim, Iriritiba and Orobó the document present us subjects trajectories that would be unthinkable in the previous dualist models. People who reinvented themselves many times, creating and assuming different identities, in order to survive all the transformations that were taking place. Part of them, once removed from village management positions migrated to the Orobó valley founding a village WHERE, as suggested by the name they had chosen to the village, they would live: à eles, para eles, com a exclusão deles.
