It was the realization of a bibliographic research on Kaingang ethnoastronomy. In order to accomplish this, prestigious research sites were chosen, such as magazines, journals and books, all linked to the teaching of astronomy or physics. Due to a lack of found materials, searches were opened for Google Scholar and physical books provided by the advisor. From the collection of finished materials, they were read in order to find fragments of Kaingang culture that are related to what was observed in the heavens. It was observed with the research the lack of materials on ethnoastronomy, having the theme of Kaingang ethnoastronomy an even greater deficit of publications. As a result of the bibliographic research a script was produced, which is being used for a session of the Planetarium of the Federal University of Pampa.
