This paper addresses some open questions left in Soares (2005), in which we claimed that it would be worth investigating whether or not tense in Ticuna (Tikuna) could be seen as centered around in the existence of temporal entities found in the language itself. Such questioning necessarily leads to the search for data related to temporal anaphora and to anaphoric phenomena in general. This is the type of data which, if found, will cast doubt on the approach which just conceives tense as a temporal dimension constructed from operators belonging to a metalanguage. Our main aim in this article is, then, to verify the existence or non-existence of sequence-of-tense (SOT) and, consequently, the possibilities of temporal anaphora realization in this language.
