The contribution of indigenous peoples to the country's historical process, extends from the arrival of the first settlers to these lands. Although there was an exchange of knowledge between these indigenous and non-indigenous peoples, what prevailed were the concepts and practices implemented by the 'white men', which directly influenced the history of local agriculture. Thus, the present work aimed at accompanying an experience based on the proposal to promote the development of crops planted by local indigenous people. The present research was carried out in the indigenous community of Umariaçu II, located in Tabatinga-AM municipality. This work was aimed at observing and monitoring indigenous family farmers and / or indigenous collectors residing in the community of Umariaçu II, who were invited to participate in a demonstration unit in Sítio Homem Imitador. Based on the activities carried out in the demonstrative unit, contact points that were analyzed by this study were selected, as well as an iconographic section of the intercultural scenes lived there. The follow-up of this unit has continued throughout its implementation, from clearing the land, preparing the soil, planting and follow-up visits, as well as harvesting, socializing, returning the area to local farmers and the status of the unit after contributors. Thus, one can get to know the cultural encounters generated throughout the process, as well as the relationship built with the indigenous community, where scientific values and thoughts were communicated, seeking dialogue among cultures.
