Reflections on myths, rites and indigenous spirituality

Abstract

The life and the journey of Indians in Brazil have riches that go unnoticed by the current colonialist and capitalist culture. The Potiguara and the Tabajara in Paraíba experience for years, conflicts with today's society, where there isn’t adequate space for the storage of their myths, rituals and spirituality. Humanity and ecology suffer from the exclusion of these people and deforestation associated, since the indigenous wisdom includes healthy relationship of man with himself, with others, with nature and with the transcendent, which can contribute to transform and reverse the socio-political and economic devastation unleashed today. This text is bibliographic research and intends to inform and invite the reader to reflect on indigenous causes, maroon and green space that belong to everyone and all of us, since each person is part of this tangle of people.
