The purpose of this dissertation was to analyze the practices of the Territorial Collegiate, from the perspective of the Theory of Recognition. The theoretical dimensions proposed by Nancy Fraser and José Henrique de Faria were used in the categories of economic, social, political and emotional recognition of the APA Cantão Territory Collegiate of the State of Tocantins. For the accomplishment of the research, a field study was carried out with qualitative methodological basis. Data collection was done through documentary research in the year 2016 to 2017 and semi-structured interviews from August to September 2018, being analyzed based on social discourse theory. The results of this study reveal that the Territorial Collegiate favored the recognition of the individuals belonging to the APA Cantão Territory, under four categories analyzed, but also raise elements that show the lack of recognition of the population in some very specific cases.
