Território indígena: uma análise dos impactos do canal do sertão sobre o território indígena Karuazú no município de Pariconha/AL

Abstract

The objective of this work is to approach how the Canal do Sertão impacts the life of the Karuazú indigenous community, taking into account that the Brazilian State did not consult the said community about the impacts that this work of great proportions would cause. During the research, different listening languages, conversations, visits to the community and its leaders were used, in addition to visits to the work of the sertão channel, making it possible to characterize the organization of this community located in the semiarid region of Alagoas, its relationship and processes of dispute over land and the use of territory, means of production and reproduction as an ethnic cultural identity. We intend to show how the interference in the territorial issue prevents the full development of the community, and the possible barriers to the demarcation procedures of a disputed territory, when the work is completed.
