Jaca e Paraná-Pixuna: arqueologia, história, memória e mapeamento colaborativo, no território Tupinambá, Baixo Rio Tapajós/PA

Abstract

This study aims to present the results of my research based on the perspective of Indigenous Archeology, it was carried out in the Jaca and Paraná-Pixuna Villages of the Tupinambá Territory (Santarém/PA), the nation of which I am part. During our ancestors lifetime, they left us many imprints on the local landscape, especially in the riverbanks, lakes and streams. These are historical records that take us back to memories, that tell the story of the Tupinambá Nation. In order to gather this information it was conducted a thorough bibliographic review and field research. The field work was developed with village residents through the use of oral history techniques, since archaeological sites are part of the history and memory of places,in addition to being an instrument for claiming ethnic identity and the right to traditional territory recognized by the State. Associated with this, we also used collaborative mapping with communities. I hope this study can contribute to strengthening the territorial identity of the people of these villages with the landscapes of the present and the past. Therefore, we hope that this work can contribute to a proper appreciation of the sense of belonging of the Tupinambá people with their territory and with the archaeological remains.
