This text exposes the conditions of creation of the Ethnographic Audiovisual Archive (AEA) in the National Indigenist Institute (INI), today the National Institute of Indigenous Peoples (INPI), with the aim of recognizing the discourses that shape the ethnographic archived image, in connection with urge to collect moving images. The analysis investigates what gives the AEA its archival characteristics and what are the discourses that, when proposing the rescue of cultures, propose the preservation of images gathered in archives.

Keywords : archive; discourse; ethnography; indigenous film; audiovisual collections.
