This article presents a brief report on the creation of the Indigenous Peoples and Universities Conferences- JOPOI, its objectives, organizational methodology, results and its relevance for strengthening relations between the academic world and the native peoples of Brazil and the Continent. In the preparation of the text, we used documentary and bibliographic research, among other methodological approaches, using existing publications on the analyzed object, including digital materials posted on JOPOI's profiles on the Internet. The theoretical framework dialogues with authors who reflect on the new forms of organization and social mobilization, the network society and the power of communication in the digital age, the impact of communication technologies on the network society, the challenges of digital inclusion faced by indigenous people, and also cultural hybridization, intercultural and decolonial education, pedagogical innovation and ecology of knowledge. The results of the research indicate that JOPOI, despite being only in its 4th edition in 2024, constitutes a powerful network that mobilizes and articulates dozens of indigenous peoples, universities and other institutionsincluding from abroad- to support the collective struggles and goals of these peoples. They also reveal an instigating process of innovation in the relationship between the academic world and the native peoples of Brazil and other countries of the Continent, marked by concrete practices of interculturality and inclusivity.
