Golgotha is the place where Jesus was crucified. The project tries to understand the different faces of evangelization in the country, trying to find the gaps in between the biblical and the tupiniquim. A Bible translated to Krikati Language is seen at the house of Tiago Krikati and his wife, Flor de Lis Krikati, from the tribe Sao Jose, in Maranhao State. The bible was translated by an American missionary who lived for years in the tribe and learned the language. The Krikati ethnicity has been growing its evangelical population in the last 10 years. CONPLEI, Conselho Nacional de Pastores e Lideres Evangelicos Indigenas (National Council of Pastors and Evangelical Indigenous Leaders) is the organization responsible for organizing and mobilizing the "Third Missionary Wave". This wave is a movement that aims the conversion of indigenous made by other indigenous, instead of Europeans or white Brazilians.
