SUMMARY:

The objective of this work is to investigate and record the memories of the Catu dos Eleoterios indigenous community, woven into their relationship with the forest, associating life stories and narratives about nature. From an ethnographic perspective, we collected oral records from members of the indigenous community about the space traditionally occupied by the group and we analyzed oral narratives about stories of enchantment experienced in the community's memory sites during extractive practices - such as the collection of a fruit called “mangaba”, vines and natural remedies -, transmitted through oral tradition by elders, healers, gatherers and herbalist women. During the research, we observed that the oral tradition in the territory is at risk of disappearing due to the threats that the community has suffered, such as river pollution and deforestation caused by the advance of sugarcane monoculture, and the displacement of village residents to urban centers. We conclude that these problems affect the preservation of the fauna and flora of Catu, limit access to natural resources for carrying out productive activities and, consequently, threaten the maintenance of its memories and the conservation of other cultural practices observed in the community.
