Balanço histórico sobre o aldeamento São Pedro de Porto da Folha, Sergipe; dos Aramurus aos Xokó

Abstract

The exposed work aimsto make a historical balance about the village São Pedro de Porto da Folha, Sergipe. For that, I looked for general sources by Manuela Carneiro da Cunha, Maria Regina Celestino de Almeida. I use the work of Beatriz Góis Dantas on the village of São Pedro, Pedro Abelardo de Santana thesis tounderstand the dispersion of the indians of the old villages by focusingon the Missions Regulation (1845) and the Land Law (1850), the work by Avelar Araujo Santos Junior, tounderstand the concept of territoriality, and the study by Valéria Maria Santana Oliveira, tounderstand the concept of identity when talking about the dance rituals of Toré, Ouricuri and the party of the Resumption. Support from NGOs and official bodies, such as FUNAI, FETASE, CIMI, playedan important role in the homologation of Caiçara and Ilha de São Pedro lands for indigenous people by decree of 1991. This process began in the 1970s and resulted in the resumption of identity and Indianity Xokó.
