Proposta de quantificação de áreas indígenas os povos Pankará, Carnaubeira da Penha, Pernambuco

Abstract

Quantification corresponds to a methodological strategy that facilitates the verification and discussion of results in a given space. Indigenous territories face difficulties in presenting their cultural potential and integration with the environment to society. Thus, quantifying their lands helps in the process of proving values essential to their people, presents society with a way of life, and can contribute to the process of demarcating territories. This work was developed through legal and documentary research, which identified problems in the recognition and appreciation of indigenous peoples, using as a basis the Pankará peoples located in the hinterland of Pajeú, Pernambuco, whose lands have not yet been demarcated. The main objective was to propose a quantification method that presents the potential of indigenous communities as a way of valuing and even intensifying the demarcation of their lands based on the values identified through the literature on the Pankará peoples. The methodology is documentary in nature, based on a literature review, descriptive, qualitative quantitative approach, and case study, with the main proposal being the production of a Quantification form for indigenous communities. In this process, it was identified that the Pankará people list three fundamental values for indigenous peoples, which will be distributed along with the criteria. Thus, a quantification form based on these values is presented, which will serve as a subsidy to mathematically prove the potential of various indigenous lands and can be used for various purposes, such as educational, cultural, and demarcation of indigenous territories.
