They reappropriate the collective memory narratives so that Brazilian indigenous authors can (re)claim their body-territory. Drawing on Vieira’s reflections, as well as on decolonial and feminist theories, this article discusses the writing of Fernanda Vieira, Eliane Potiguara, and Graça Graúna to argue that these Indigenous women writers use their autobiogeographies as decolonial praxis to deconstruct the persisting coloniality in the Brazilian collective memory narrative.6309843engAutobiogeographiesDecolonial praxisFernanda VieiraBrazilian Indigenous women writersBrazilian Indigenous LiteratureLiterature as decolonial praxis, self- expression, and autobiogeographies in brazilian indigenous women’sjournal article10.11606/va.v25.n2.2025.217865https://revistas.usp.br/viaatlantica/pt_BR/article/view/217865
