INDIGENOUS AND QUILOMBO PEOPLE IN ROLIM DE MOURA DO GUAPORÉ (RO): HISTORICAL HERITAGE AND SOCIOCULTURAL DYNAMICS

Cultural historical heritage, quilombolas, Wajuru indigenous peoples, Rolim de Moura do Guaporé.

This research proposes to share an ethnographic study on the historical-cultural heritage of Wajuru indigenous people and quilombolas present in Rolim de Moura do Guaporé (RO). Our aim is to understand the historical processes of occupation of the Guaporé Valley in the 19th and 20th centuries that brought together Wajuru and Quilombola indigenous peoples, who contributed to the formation of a multicultural and pluriethnic territory in the Guaporean Amazon. In this way, the social historical processes are crucial for the composition of the history of these peoples, as well as the study of existing cultures and sociocultural dynamics, their experiences that allow cultural loans, in order to understand the conceptions of cultures as a historical repertoire, identity affirmation , memory and traditional knowledge. Composing this sociopolitical and economic research context, we seek to understand the conception of cultural heritage beyond the colonialist concept, where social groups, the focus of our research, are ignored, considered as non-existent heritage and that have nothing to safeguard, since who are on the margins of the hegemonic society. The historical heritage of Wajuru and Quilombola indigenous peoples make up the systems of signs, symbols that intertwine and that also present particularities in a way that significantly cooperate with the rich cultural diversity of Rondônia and that will be registered in this work.
