Contents	From missions to towns : Amazonian settlements in an era of reform -- Forest collecting expeditions and the pursuit of opportunities in the sertão -- Searching for new people -- "The Indians of this town ebb and flow" : absentee movements within the colonial sphere -- Defining Indians and vagrants -- The struggle for autonomy in the early nineteenth century -- Conclusion : mobile and rooted.
Summary	This text reconstructs the world of eighteenth-century Amazonia to argue that indigenous mobility did not undermine settlement or community. In doing so, it revises longstanding views of native Amazonians as perpetual wanderers, lacking attachment to place and likely to flee at the slightest provocation.
