“Instituto Goiano de Pré-História e Antropologia” was born from a project of
“Universidade Católica de Goiás”, with the objective of preserving and presenting to the public details of the indian life and tradition.
Besides that, it realizes researches about the topic in the areas of anthropology, archeology, environment and education.
With a patrimony of tapes, photos, videos, slides, books and post cards, the

which remounts scenes of the tribe daily routine, and the exhibit of ceramic dolls, totalizing 208 pieces. Besides that there are about one
hundred photos of tribes from Amazon. In the archeology sector, there are ceramic pieces, fossils and paintings.
