“…Regarding the musealization and patrimonialization of clothing, particularly in Brazil, there are specific challenges to be faced initially discussed in previous works (Andrade and Root, 2016; Andrade, 2017). We already know that collections in museums do not represent Brazilian cultural diversity, but that there are thematic preferences for clothing in museums, such as fashion, especially, but not exclusively, women's fashion.…”

Museums face the challenge of the lack of information on their museological documentation of ethnographic objects, specially those collected from indigenous peoples in an array of colonial and post‐colonial contexts. The PPK research project presented in this paper aims to contribute to the improvement of documentation on the Brazilian indigenous Iny Karajá dolls (ritxoko), which have been identified in museum collections around the world. This is most relevant to understudied collections in those museums expected to substantiate exhibitions, educational actions and other forms of access and communication of the collections to the public. In order to address the goal, the PPK project traces the dolls and the museums collections' trajectories, and targets at specifics such as the study of the dolls' clothing and body adornments. Participative research methodologies have proved to be critical as the interpersonal interfaces between researchers/institutions and Iny Karajá indigenous groups provides new data and a fresh understanding of the artifacts in the contexts of museum practices. The information has been organized in a database, which will be available at the digital Platform Tainacan. The usefulness of these findings to the museum field are to acknowledge and disseminate more accurately the Iny Karajá doll collections; to meet UNESCO's Recommendation on the Protection and Promotion of Museums and Collections (2015); and to account for ritxoko dress, seeking to discuss the place of indigenous artifacts at “ethnic” niches in museums.

Resumo Os museus enfrentam o desafio da falta de informac ßões em sua documentac ßão museol ogica de objetos etnogr aficos, especialmente aqueles coletados de povos ind ıgenas em diversos contextos coloniais e p os-coloniais contextos. O projeto de pesquisa PPK apresentado neste trabalho tem como objetivo contribuir para o aprimoramento da documentac ßão sobre bonecos ind ıgenas Iny Karaj a (ritxoko) que foram identificadas em colec ßões de museus ao redor do mundo. Espera-se que o destaque dado as colec ßões pouco ou nunca estudadas em seus museus de origem produza conhecimento que fundamente exposic ßões, ac ßões educativas e outras formas de extroversão das colec ßões ao p ublico. A fim de atingir o objetivo, o projeto PPK estuda as trajet orias das bonecas e das colec ßões dos museus, visando ainda especificidades como o estudo das vestimentas e adornos corporais das bonecas. As metodologias de pesquisa participativa têm se mostrado crucial, pois o contato interpessoal entre pesquisadores/instituic ßões e os grupos ind ıgenas Iny Karaj a fornecem novos dados e uma nova compreensão dos artefatos no contexto das pr aticas museais. A informac ßão tem sido organizada numa base de dados que estar a dispon ıvel na plataforma digital Tainacan. A utilidade dessas descobertas para o campo do museal e conhecer e divulgar com maior precisão as colec ßões de bonecas Iny Karaj a, atender a Recomendac ßão da UNESCO sobre a Protec ßão e Promoc ßão de Museus e Colec ßões (2015); e considerar a indument aria ritxoko, buscando afastar a produc ßão ind ıgena do nicho " etnico" nos museus.
