Vestígios de uma nação : uma abordagem fotográfica dos indígenas Kariri

Abstract

It seeks, through photography, to analyze, document, and present the struggle of the Kariri Indigenous people who were displaced from the Cariri region and Crato in the 18th century. Using documentary photography as its methodology, it aims to record the geographic spaces, descendants of the ethnic group, their processes of struggle to secure their rights, and their objects, which hold both material and symbolic importance. Alongside the photographic study, we also present an in-depth examination of the history of the native peoples of southern Ceará, from the arrival of the Portuguese to the present day. Likewise, it provides details of the efforts of the Poço Dantas community to obtain recognition from society and public authorities, including claims to their territory
