This dissertation focuses on studying the relationships that women from the quilombola community Igarapé São João in Médio Itacuruçá establish with the plants and herbs they cultivate. I turn to the knowledge, practices and worldviews historically arising from the management and cultivation of a diversity of plant species and fruit trees, medicinal herbs, roots, tree bark, vegetables and greens. Production that promotes the local and municipal economy, in addition to being a source of food supply and different forms of use by families in this community. The place of study where I carried out the ethnographic research is the riverside and quilombola community of Igarapé São João, in the Middle Itacuruçá, located in the municipality of Abaetetuba, in the region of the islands, a rural area in the state of Pará, Amazon, northern region of Brazil. Ethnography is one of the paths of qualitative research as it comprises the study based on direct observation of the customary living practices of a particular group of people (Mattos, 2011). Therefore, I used participant observation, ethnobiography (Gonçalves, 2012) and writing (Evaristo, 2020), with a view to capturing the experience lived by the interlocutors of this research. Between illnesses, observation of backyards, reports about home remedies and plants, in addition to my childhood memories, experiences and coexistence in the quilombola community of Médio Itacuruçá, I noticed the diversity of knowledge acquired and transmitted by women. In the face of a global environmental crisis and the confrontation of environmental conflicts (monoculture of oil palm and livestock), the agroforestry system used by traditional populations, including riverside and quilombola populations, is of paramount importance for the maintenance of life and biodiversity.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2022-03-15) SOUSA, Natasha Fernandes de; RAMOS, João Batista Santiago; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8078757512392983
This research aims to understand the sacred (re)veiled in oral narratives of women from the Santíssima Trindade-Pará Community. The social relevance of giving time and voice to knowledge, religiosity and customs of those who inhabit or have inhabited marginal spaces, reflecting their narratives in search of identifying possible temporal interferences, and also what the Community represents through their voices. For this, the investigation presented a methodology with a qualitative approach with descriptive characteristics, considering the oral narratives of three quilombola women from the Santíssima Trindade community. The constitution of the data took place through observation, interview, informal conversations, audiovisual record and notebook. The results show that the sacred is (re)veiled through manifestations of religious rituals with devotion to the saints, mainly to São Pedro - the patron saint of the Community, as well as in rituals of healing with herbs or rezadeiras. It is noteworthy that the sacred is also (re)veiled through elementary or more elaborate hierophanies such as the human one. It is concluded that in the sacred (re)veiled in oral narratives of the women of the quilombola community Santíssima Trindade there is an intertwining between life and memory to the history of the Community itself, becoming a source of knowledge to know the history of the place where the sacred is (re)veils with representation and belonging to the community of black and quilombola women, in addition to a totalizing ideology.
