Resum
For the present Research Article, we approached the reality of the southern Mbya Guarani of Paraguay. This ethnic group were expelled from their ancestral habitat, the Yacyretâ Island, during the years 1970-1980, to construction of the Hydroelectric Dam between Paraguay and Argentina. For 15 years, Mbya Guarani lived in a dispersed way, until they could relocate in their present territory, where they live according to their cultural traditions. We analyzed their resilience factors from a qualitative ethnographic design, which included participant observation and interview techniques. To the Mbya Guarani, resilience is like a chant to life.
