| Resumo: | Historically, indigenous peoples in Brazil have faced neglect and violence, with limited access to healthcare services. To improve this situation, it is crucial to rethink health education by integrating universities and services through university extension programs. An initiative by nursing students was carried out to highlight the importance of extension in academic formation for comprehensive and humanized care of indigenous health. The project involved health promotion, disease prevention, and education, aiming to raise awareness among students, professionals, and society about the need for effective actions for native populations. The descriptive study, conducted between July 14 and 21, 2023, in the indigenous reserves of Dourados-MS, as part of the 12th Mission of the Humanitarian Association of University Students in Defense of Life, included seven stages and provided significant contributions to nursing. Practical activities and the development of critical thinking highlighted health as a broad concept encompassing physical, emotional, cultural, and social aspects, emphasizing the importance of a holistic approach to indigenous health care. |
