Territorialização do patrimônio no Alto Rio Negro: da geografia mítica a geografia indígena

Abstract

This paper presents the realization of indigenous peoples of the Upper Rio Negro on culture , heritage and territory , identifying and describing them in order to get the laws and policies of cultural, national and international grants that provide the necessary tools for revitalization and strengthening of these assets territorialized that are seen as inseparable from man / nature, highlighting the indigenous Geography. The studies sought to diagnose the environmental impacts arising from the use of these types of assets. For this, the methodological procedure became a literature review on works produced by researchers on the Upper Rio Negro ; sixty interviews were conducted with elderly adults and young indigenous speakers of the three languages co - made official in the municipality of São Gabriel da Cachoeira in 2002: Baniwa Nhengatu and Tukanoans; direct observation focused on the social and environmental impacts on equity. The results indicate that: the culture , heritage and indigenous territory in the design are closely connected and determine ways of life, values arranged throughout the territory; registration of equity alone does not strengthen the identity, it must be widespread and practiced through environmental education / equity in schools and communities. The conclusions it does is that existing laws are always under implementation and experiences , but do not correspond to reality. Therefore it is thought proposition hear and see the future envisaged by these legitimizing possession of the territory referred in his memoirs inherited from their ancestors and no longer objects of study and become subjects of knowledge itself .
