The indigenous people of Aracruz pass through multiple territorial clashes since the arrival of multinational Aracruz Celulose in their territories, which significantly changed your environment and ways of life. After 40 years of struggle they take over their land and they are trying to rebuild their experiences and dignity lost.

As it is a current study participant observation, interviews and the field were essential for the completion of any work, which is to be attended by the active participation of the population in the production of this research.
