Abstract
Brazil has its origins in the indigenous population, which historically has been decimated by the colonizers, those who took possession of the land, those who took possession of the forests, the land grabbers. Some researchers take the indigenous population as subjects of their studies seeking through their research and interventions to preserve culture and sustainability. This study has as its subject those populations that are descended from indigenous people and who live in similar conditions, and addresses the cultural practices, community building, and sustainability in the ways of life of traditional non-indigenous populations that historically inhabit the unique scenario of the Amazon. The content covers the conditions and perceptions about cultural awareness prevailing in the sociocultural organization of these populations, having as support for analysis the social, cultural, economic, and ecological practices. This theme assumes a sine qua non importance due to the Brazilian political moment that exposes the disagreements between members of civil society, representatives of educational institutions (researchers, teachers), public administration managers, community leaders, media and other cultural intermediaries that support or disagree. The challenge is to reconcile the protection of the Amazon rainforest, sustainability, the protection of traditional populations with the realization of Brazil’s economic aspirations and to consolidate this issue as the responsibility of the entire Brazilian and world population.
