The main objective of this dissertation is to understand the interactions, narratives and
resistance practices of the residents of the Ponta da Sofia community, in Salinópolis (PA), in
the face of the violation of their territory for the installation of tourist developments. The study
will look at the daily life of this community, its productions of meaning about history, place,
environmental preservation and relationships of affection, exploring the residents' narratives,
their interactions and the processes of resistance in their social and cultural practices. The
methodological procedures adopted are based on qualitative research, based on data analysis
through interviews (MOTTA, 2013); (GOMES, 2007), supported by ethnographic practice as
defined by Rocha and Eckert (2008), and interviews. The main authors used to support the
understanding of narratives and social practices include Ferdinand Tonnies (1973), Martin
Buber (1987), Filho and Mendes (2014), Krenak (2021), Medeiros and Ido (2018), Gudynas
(2019) and Santos (2023). The result of this investigation highlights not only the adversities
faced by the residents of Ponta da Sofia, but also the resilience and depth of their connections,
especially their care for the environment, since they understand the intrinsic interdependence
with the ecosystem they consider their home.
