(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2020-09-08) BEZERRA, Sueyla Malcher; SABLAYROLLES, Maria das Graças Pires; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0250972497887101; SILVA, Luis Mauro Santos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7285459738695923
In this study, we seek to analyze the traditional knowledge and practices associated with agrobiodiversity of food plants, as well as the constitution of sovereignty and food autonomy in the production of two non Quilombo of Deus Ajude, Salvaterra, Pará state, Brazil. For the development of the research, we used a qualitative and quantitative approach. Regarding the methodological procedure, we opted for the case study, participant observation, non-directive identification, questionnaires, free lists, collection and identification of botanical material. Data analysis was carried out by systematizing information collected and by the vertical and horizontal analysis of interviews, data triangulation and Cognitive Salience Index. Results showed that the traditional knowledge of the Quilombola community regarding plant foods is constituted through their daily relationship between the community and nature, as well as through the continuous exchange of knowledge between different generations. Amazonian seasonality has revealed itself as a regulator of the plurality of productive activities throughout the year, and these are carried out through a symbiotic relationship, where both nature and the Quilombo are sustained. In addition, the representative foods of the Marajoara Quilombo, such as beiju, cação, tiborna, cunhapira and crueira, become one of the ways of maintaining the Quilombo's agrobiodiversity. On the other hand, the limitations of access to the territory of common use, the impositions of the farmes around the Quilombo, and the influences of capitalist market that promote changes in the way food is obtained and on the eating habits of quilombolas are evident. Therefore, the valorization of Quilombola culture and its way of life becomes an ally for the preservation of traditional knowledge and practices, as well as the managed of agrobiodiversity.

The traditional knowledge about the use of medicinal plants in a quilombola community is the subject of this research, whose main objective is to describe the ethnobotanical knowledge of residents of the Itaboca quilombola community, Inhangapi municipality, northeastern Pará state, in the context of relations socio-cultural The study was developed from the quantitative and qualitative descriptive methodological approaches, applying semi-structured questionnaires, open interviews and direct observation. Twenty-four practitioners of folk medicine were interviewed and selected by non-random sampling using the snowball method, indicated by three people in the community called seeds A, B and C. Four representatives of the community were interviewed through open interviews. The results reveal a set of knowledge and practices using medicinal plants cultivated by families. However, due to their kinship relationship, it is the matriarchs and elders of the community who concentrate greater credibility for the practice of folk medicine, because they have greater knowledge and empirical experience with medicinal plants. This knowledge interferes with the social organization of the community, crossing healing practices and modifying the landscape of the community environment through anthropic processes of substitution of the floral for medicinal species grown in the backyards. Within the ethnobotanical knowledge of the inhabitants of Itaboca, 83 species were recorded, of which 41 were identified. The most cited plants were boldo (Plectranthus ornatus), peppermint (Menta pulegium L.), lemon balm (Lippia alba (Mill) .N.E.Br). Tea is the most common form of preparation. Treatment of digestive tract complications is the most appropriate. In this study, a religious syncretism of curative character was observed. The conclusion of the work points to the risk of ethnobotanical cultural losses resulting from the little interest of younger generations to maintain this knowledge, which requires policies to encourage the preservation of cultural knowledge of traditional populations and effective laws that guarantee recognition and appreciation of cultural heritage. of these communities. It is considered that the knowledge coming from this universe can provide relevant contributions to the conservation of traditional community cultural and biological traditions, as well as provide theoretical / practical support to cultural debates and laboratory scientific research in the academic sphere.

Ethnoveterinary knowledge of the inhabitants of Marajó Island, Eastern Amazonia, Brazil
(Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia, 2011) MONTEIRO, Maria Vivina Barros; BEVILAQUA, Claudia Maria Leal; PALHA, Maria das Dores Correia; BRAGA, Roberta Rocha; SCHWANKE, Katiane; RODRIGUES, Silvane Tavares; LAMEIRA, Osmar Alves
There have been ethnoveterinary reports from around the world investigating plant usage in therapeutic protocols; however, there is no information regarding the ethnoveterinary practices in Brazilian Amazonia. The objective of this work was to register and document the ethnoveterinary knowledge of the inhabitants of the Island of Marajó, eastern Amazonia, Brazil. In the study, interviews were conducted with 50 individuals, with the application of semi-structured questionnaires that were quantitatively analyzed using descriptive statistic methods of frequency distribution. Use-value was calculated to determine the most important species. Samples of plants that were reported to have medicinal value were collected and identified by botanical classification. Fifty plants, distributed among 48 genera and 34 families, were indicated for 21 different medicinal uses. The family Asteraceae had the largest number of reported species; Carapa guianensis Aubl., Copaifera martii Hayne, Crescentia cujete L., Caesalpinia ferrea Mart., Chenopodium ambrosioides L., Jatropha curcas L. and Momordica charantia L. were species with highest use- value. The plant parts that were more commonly utilized for the preparation of ethnoveterinary medicines were the leaves (56%), bark (18%), roots (14%), seeds (14%) and fruit (8%). With regard to usage, tea was reported as a usage method by 56% of the informants; most preparations (90.9%) utilized only a single plant. In addition to medicinal plants, informants reported using products of animal and mineral origin. The present study contributed to the construction of an inventory of Marajó Island's ethnoveterinary plants, which might be the basis for future scientific validation studies.

Poranduba: uma experiência docente pela sabedoria das plantas medicinais nos rios da Amazônia
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-02-02) Santos, Dioemili Sá dos; Raposo, Elinete Oliveira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6737474841439654; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8995-0296
This is a qualitative study, transformed into an (auto)biographical account, based on my experiences as a teacher of 5th grade students in a riverside school in the municipal public network of Ponta de Pedras, Pará, Brazil. The aim was to show the teaching and learning experiences of a teacher and her students in the process of developing a Didactic Sequence (DS) based on ethnobotany in 5th grade science classes. The research was conducted using my training diary and the students' diaries, with records of class activities, semi-structured interviews, photographic records and others. I used Textual Discourse Analysis (TDA) as a methodology for analyzing the empirical material and, after a process of immersion, I systematized two thematic axes of analysis: i) TEA FOR WHAT? An approach with medicinal plants in the early years in a riverside school in the Amazon, and ii) ETNOBOTANICS THROUGH THE GARDENS OF DECOLONIALITY: sowing seeds for (re)thinking teacher training in science.. The results and discussions were presented in two articles, which allow for discussions and reflections on the roles of the teacher and student in these processes, especially regarding the use of ethnobotany in the classroom. It is possible to consider that the teaching proposal has premises for a Decolonial Approach in science teaching, provides meaningful learning, Intercultural Scientific Literacy with valorization traditional knowledge and contributing to citizen education. As a result of this study, I have made available a book in digital format (ebook), called BEYOND TEA: ethnobotany through medicinal plants, which introduces teachers and students to new ways and simple possibilities of teaching and learning botany, culture and science education. These innovative experiences in science teaching are easy to apply and replicate in everyday school life, and can be reframed by teachers according to the needs of each class.
