It is estimated that there are approximately 5,000 indigenous peoples in the world today, totalling more than 370 million people. In the historical context of indigenous health, the issue has faced major transitions. In 2007, a specific Coordination was created within the indigenous body FUNAI to deal with indigenous women's issues. Objective: To describe the health care of indigenous women through the literature. When researching a topic that is always addressed, but never really able to treat and care for this people, due to their culture and belief is quite a challenge. The indigenous people will always prefer to treat pathologies acquired through herbs, rituals or other types of beliefs.
