This article reflects the suffering of groups forced to migrate to urban spaces in the Amazon, severing their ties to the land. Analytical categories from two research groups at Brazilian universities were used, as well as accounts of the psychological distress of the Sateré-Mawé/AM and Hixkaryana/AM Indigenous people presented after their migration to the city.
