RESUMO:

 

This research addresses the "Study of medicinal plants from the Cerrado used by the community of Aldeia São Pedro, Mehĩ people of Araguaia". With this study, we aim to give visibility to traditional knowledge, mainly related to the cure of diseases. It is a relevant topic in the sense of systematizing knowledge that is passed down orally from generation to generation. The research was developed on the ground in the Mehĩ territory, with the participation of elders and other people from the community such as the Caj (shaman). I carried out the activities with the 6th to 9th grade class at the Juscelino Kubitschek State School, in the annex classrooms of the São Pedro village, in Luciara – MT. The focus is on medicinal plants of the Cerrado biome, considering the experience with natural remedies and their use to cure illnesses by the community. Given this scenario, the following research questions arise: What are the medicinal plants of the Cerrado traditionally used by the Mehĩ people of the Araguaia region to treat illnesses and maintain health? Furthermore, what challenges are faced considering the threats to the Cerrado ecosystem and the impacts suffered over the years? This research revealed the richness and importance of the accumulated knowledge about Indigenous health over thousands of years, passed down from parents to children, and its significance to the community. This body of knowledge is often disregarded, consequently posing a significant challenge to younger generations, who are discouraged from learning and practicing traditional Indigenous health knowledge. This context represents a major challenge. Because there is an Indigenous health policy, collaborative dialogue with it will allow for a balanced and respectful experience, strengthening both care systems.
