Original peoples: resistance and geographical protagonism
The indigenous or indigenous peoples throughout their trajectory have resisted and produced resilience in the midst of so many adversities, whether in facing the guarantee of their territories, their cultures, their ways of life, as well as looking for strategies to put themselves as protagonists of your own life. This results from his experiences, which promote accumulated knowledge and continually reapplied in his relationship with nature, whose perceptions and representation of his world “mix with his organic and psychic life, to the point that it is impossible to separate the outside world from the facts properly human” (DARDEL, 2011 [1952], p.48).
When reflecting on the relevance of the original peoples, the Revista Presença Geográfica launches the challenge of making its special issue with the objective of reflecting on the geographical and historical context, on the situation in which these peoples are in Brazil and in the world, as well as perspectives on the challenges and complexities that are posed on the Planet. In this sense, we present as subthemes:
1. Cultural representations, ethno-knowledge and spirituality:
