THE TIKUNA ETHNICITY FROM UMARIAÇU INDIGENOUS TERRITORY, ALTO SOLIMÕES, BRAZILIAN AMAZON: TERRITORIALITY AND SOCIAL-ENVIRONMENTAL DYNAMICS

Autores

Resumo

The Tikuna population is settled in a wide range of land throughout the Solimões river channel in the Alto Solimões region. The Tikuna territories are marked by the organization of Tikuna individuals in association with indigenous groups. During the process of territorial conquest, in the 80’s and 90’s, the indigenous territories were divided into different communities. This fragmentation led to the formation of territories of different sizes and environmental conditions, either close or far away from the cities of the Alto Solimões region. Social-environmental configurations have reduced the indigenous territories; transformations are related to the Solimões river’s natural modifications and to anthropic modifications such as the Tabatinga International Airport. This study aims to demonstrate the Tikuna territories in Umariaçu and the socio-environmental dynamics that have been reducing their spaces and natural resources. The study emphasizes the environmental and social disturbances in an indigenous territory close to Tabatinga municipality.
