Indigenous Peoples and Traditional Communities

This category encompasses studies, narratives and artistic manifestations that highlight the knowledge, legal practices, social organization systems and ways of life of indigenous peoples, quilombolas, riverside dwellers, extractivists and other traditional communities, recognizing them as protagonists in building sustainable development alternatives and preserving sociobiodiversity. The space privileges works that address issues ranging from land matters and territorial rights to their own forms of conflict resolution, traditional medicine, differentiated education and cultural resistance, always valuing the voices and perspectives of these communities in dialogue with national and international legal systems, especially in the Amazonian context where these groups hold millennial knowledge fundamental to facing contemporary socio-environmental challenges and rethinking coexistence models based on reciprocity, collectivity and respect for natural cycles.
