This article discusses the processualities lived in Manaus (AM), focusing on the housing and living conditions of indigenous people. It seeks to identify how they fit in the urban space to guarantee their reproduction, in the process of social inequality that marks the capitalist city. Data from the Census 2010/IBGE is used. In Manaus, the inclusion of indigenous people occurs in areas not valued by capitalism, characterized by the absence of housing conditions, with little or no supply of basic goods and services. With regard to employment and income, they remain in domestic activities of low payment and formalization. It's established the need to guarantee the right to the city for the indigenous people, through public policies that promote the breakdown of both its invisibilization and the logic of commodification prevalent in urban space.
