(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2020-06) CARDOSO, Denise Machado; RIBEIRO, José da Silva
Midwives' knowledge is acquired in a traditional way and refers to their ancestry.

The research on Maria da Silva, one of these midwives, objective aims to investigate its trajectory and was based on orality and the ethnography. Field research has shown that these practices are maintained due to the way in which birth is assisted, providing protagonism to the birthing woman.
