| Sumario: | The cultural aspects of the indigenous communities' way of life help to understand the anxieties, struggles and injustices suffered by these peoples. The purpose of this article is to describe a brief history of the cultural aspects of the way of life of indigenous communities in Baixo São Marcos, located in the state of Roraima, in order to understand relevant issues that impact public policies aimed at indigenous peoples. Highlighting some aspects from the beginning of Portuguese colonization in the region, in 1787 to the demarcation of the indigenous land, in 1991. For the development, the descriptive study was used as a methodology, designed to describe the cultural aspects of the way of life of the indigenous communities. For this purpose, an evaluation of the scientific production was carried out, of all sources of data on the subject, such as publications in electronic or physical media. As a result, there is a very rich area of culture, teachings and practices on how to live with few resources and in harmony with the environment, avoiding exaggeration and living with what is necessary. It is concluded that the challenges faced by indigenous peoples are even greater than imagined, as they permeate the invasion of intrinsic aspects of a social group that is distancing itself from its roots, such as the Macuxi language itself, currently spoken only by the elderly. |
