(Re)existance, Territory, Identity, Apiaká, Cultural Geography
In this text we observe the history of (Re)existence of the Apiaká people, in the struggle for the recovery of their ancestral territory, done through geographic, cultural and identitary processes. With this we intend to present the results of social research done with this indigenous group, through social immersion and field experience, observing the narratives and feelings shared, understanding their cosmology and how they perceive the space and the place that they occupy. Having a history of near extinction and other violences, the “gentios” Apiaká, as well as other native American groups, resist and affirm themselves as leaders of the recovery of their territory. Following these happenings the description and some analysis shared with thinkers of the Critical Geography, as well as authors that research indigenous groups and their strategies to exist and resist.
