The occupation ofthe sertões of Rio de Janeiro, in the passage from the eighteenth to the nineteenth century, was a period of intense conflict and negotiations in a process involving several agents, among them: sesmeiros, squatters, farmers, indigenous groups and agents the Portuguese government. An everyday reality that mixed specific interests and distinct projects. The present study analyzes the project of the farmer José Rodrigues da Cruz to the Indian civilization of Valencia, within the Rio de Janeiro. Although thereis no formal project, the correspondence analysis of the farmer, allows us to analyze a specific proposal for settlement of indigenous groups and the consequent expansion of the frontier.
