The objective in this article is to identify and analyze, in the light of Interdisciplinarity, the subject Indigenous health and the contents about the health of traditional populations in the Amazon region in undergraduate nursing programs at universities and faculties in the North of Brazil. Along that logic, a study was undertaken in the electronic platform of the Ministry of Education and Culture (E-MEC), between May and July 2016, through multiple case studies. Courses were identified in all States, totaling 69, being 11 public and 58 private. Fourteen of these courses presented subjects on the theme, such as: Indigenous Health, Nursing in Indigenous Health Care, Nursing Care for traditional populations in the Amazon and Health of Amazon Populations. The curricula and menus revealed that the curricula contain subjects on traditional populations, but in a limited manner, and equidistant conceptions of interdisciplinarity.
