The general purpose of this work is to offer significant facts that allow understand other ways of interpreting competition in sports activity. In this sense, two specific cases of competition sports in Amerindian villages are presented here, one born from the tradition: the Rarámuri race, and another imported from abroad: Yanomami football. From the data produced, as a result of the ethnographic methodology used in both towns (2001-2005 with Rarámuris; 2004-2007 with Yanomamis), six basic objectives are threatened: to describe the peculiarities of both sporting events; highlight the role of context in the interpretation and reinterpretation of competition; analyze the implications and consequences of competition; observe the spirit and intentionality of the rules applied; highlight common patterns and reflect on the values that emerge in both cases. The results stand in stark contrast to what is common in sport competition in modern societies, and are a testament to what other peoples separated from the media can bring.
