OCUPAÇÃO DO TERRITÓRIO PINDORAMA

A visão sobre a terra para indígenas e não-indígenas nos escritos quinhentistas

Abstract

This work aims to analyze the different forms of relationship with land for indigenous people and Europeans in Portuguese America in the sixteenth century, as well as the notions of possession, occupation and use of territory for these agents. For this purpose, the works of Gabriel Soares de Sousa, Fernão Cardim and Pero de Magalhães Gandavo were analyzed, relating the information extracted in them with the "Regimento do governador geral do Brasil de 1588” and the "Carta de sesmaria da terra dos índios dos índios da aldeia do Espírito Santo deste colégio (Bahia) of 07/09/1562". In view of the forms of apprehension of space, reflected in the conflicting course of occupation of the territory, this research intends to contribute to the analysis of the forms of occupation of the land, emphasizing the interests of both indigenous and European people in the possession and use of the territory.
