Abstract

Beija-Flor village 1 refers to a multiethnic territory composed of the Tukano, Sateré-Mawé, Dessano, Arara, Cambeba, Baré, Tuyuka, Borari, and Mura communities whose traditional practices include elements inside and outside the city. Located in an urban context, in the city of Rio Preto da Eva, state of Amazonas, Brazil, the people of this village reinforce their identity claims to be seen, heard, and respected in their specificities. We carried out a map workshop within the scope of the new social cartography project, in which the indigenous people mapped the territory in detail, highlighting ritual areas, farmlands, collection of natural resources, and waterways. The resulting map revealed deep knowledge about the region and its relationship with nature, highlighting the ethnic diversity in the village and areas of collective use and sociability. After intense conflicts involving death threats and eviction, the indigenous people legally conquered their territory, and today, they carry out reforestation projects and take care of water pockets to preserve water resources. With this, the dynamics of the conservation of natural resources involve a political and cosmological relationship inside and outside the city.
