Abstract

This study assumes or purpose of verifying the traces and vestiges of the existence of Mulher Valéria that possibly lived in 1920 in the Serra de Parintins, giving special emphasis to his history of life, work, prominence and leadership in a context of androcentric character, not sense of understanding or prominence of women who happen not in contemporary time. A Serra de Parintins received or named Valéria in homage to a woman who divided and gave these lands to settlers, rubber tappers, farmers and other traditional povos who were destitute from terra and local de Mora, forming Região da Valéria, a rural area of Municipality of Parintins located between the States of Amazonas and Pará. The traces and vestiges found revealed the creation of the Valéria myth by two inhabitants of the locality that needed a history to tell other years on the terrains that formed, over a long period of nucleation, formed five communities forming a complex or a plurality of houses. O nome of a woman confer sororization and affectivity to the matriarchal myth, whose aura can be found in her own life of women, through her various social practices. As women establish a relationship of care with nature and with life in its multiple dimensions. This relationship is marked by both the materiality and the symbolism that intertwines the woman and the mystical nature of belonging and reciprocity. A triad of terra, forest and water is the referential of life dessas mulheres that has no feminine principle or no feminine spirit or central point that guides or its protagonism and daily struggle. Your social practices are a marker of your citizenship and your registration on the planet. A research was developed in the Traditional Communities São Paulo and Santa Rita de Cássia, Valéria Region, being inspired by rhizomatic approaches in an interdisciplinary dialogue between Anthropology, History, Philosophy and Arts. Among the multiple aspects established, it is patent or fact that Valéria is the feminine principle that inhabits Amazônia, whose aura can be perceived in the archetypes of two hummingbirds, two runners, two heads and two lakes that have Pachamama, its source of inspiration. Valéria is a feminine ancestrality, a mythical woman, an energy that gives force, stars and directs the lives of women in no contemporary time nessa localidade amazônica. It must be recognized, emphatically, that the narratives of orality in the Valéria region take over from a myth that is based on a matriarchy perspective, in an Amazonian context of exacerbation of patriarchy.
