Abstract

The search for an understanding of the relevance of caatinga plants to indigenous territoriality, since active contact with mother earth is essential for the development, knowledge and experience of the original peoples who live within the Caatinga Biome, this use of caatinga plants caatinga for rituals and healing work prove its identity. Its objective is to analyze the indigenous territoriality of the Geripankó people based on the use of caatinga plants in their rituals and/or daily activities. In this bibliographic investigation, we seek to analyze the territorial relevance, as well as the caatinga plants and their consequences for the Geripankó people. Within this reality, the Geripankó indigenous people seek to keep their tradition and belief alive given this need for contact with the land as well as with the plants of the Caatinga Biome, which is part of the lives of these people. Geography is present within this study so that the spaces are understood and given due respect so that the culture of the Geripankó people is maintained in view of the preservation of the Caatinga Biome. Concluding that the reality not only of Aldeia Geripankó, but in general, can be seen that the Caatinga Biome is one of the most devastated biomes, with this its flora and fauna species are ceasing to exist, since the preservation of spaces, but rather the removal of the forest.
