Abstract
During an epidemiological research of cutaneous leshimaniasis in Wajãpi Indigenous Land, several ontological perspectives between scientific team and wajãpi people happened. These ontological issues are the main material analyzed by this paper. Switching between different subjects, the paper aims to describe the perspectives of each subject answering what is possible or not to kill, the moral implications around the death of different beings and how interspecific relations are conceived.
