This article analyzes an episode of institutional conflict that occurred in the municipality of Jacareacanga, in the state of Pará, involving public security agents and members of the Munduruku indigenous people. The event originated after the arrest of individuals suspected of murdering a member of the Munduruku indigenous community. Part of the community contested the actions of the state justice system and demanded the application of traditional community justice mechanisms. Amidst the escalating difficulties, a local police station was set on fire, and the police officers had to leave the municipality, traveling approximately 400 kilometers along the BR230 highway to the municipality of Itaituba. The study discusses the challenges of police action in culturally diverse and vulnerable territories in the face of the need for intercultural dialogue between states and traditional communities.
