The main objective of the research to be analyzed is to analyze the environmental problems
present in the village of São José. The same is located in the municipality of Tocantinópolis -
TO region known as Bico do Papagaio, the distance between the village and the Tocantinópolis
city is 18 km . The research will be linked to the Licentiate program in Education of the field
with habilitation in visual arts and music of the Federal University of Tocantins (UFT) of the
Campus of Tocantinópolis. The indigenous population of this village are Apinayé and belong
to the macro - jê family. Its lands are bordered by the municipalities of Maurilândia, Nazaré,
São Bento do Tocantins and Tocantinópolis. Within the Indian demarcations are found in
abundance several streams that provides quality water to the indigenous communities scattered
throughout Apinayé reserve, a fundamental element for the survival of these peoples, from the
water resources present there. It is worth emphasizing that the methodology used in the research
was qualitative-quantitative, which [...] "is defined as a conversation between one person (the
interviewer) and another (the interviewee) or others as a small group or a family ". This
methodology was of fundamental relevance, because it provided me with a closer contact with
the locus researched, making it possible to know the environmental problems in the interior of
the São José Village. In this region there is a dry tropical climate and a vegetation rich in
babaçuais palms, which for many has been a means of survival for these peoples. It is worth
mentioning that environmental problems have been damaging the environment, causing
diseases to indigenous communities. In short, the research will serve as a theoretical and
methodological basis capable of guiding future academics, indigenous peoples and public
authorities to seek alternatives that contribute to the resolution of environmental problems both
in indigenous lands and in other areas that are threatened.
