Agroecology, Education and Territory: the legacy ancestral of resistance Bantu Indigenous in Terreiro do Campo Caxuté

Abstract

The community of Terreiro do Campo Bantu Indígena Caxuté, located in Valença - BA, presents the systematization of part of its experiences carried out along the fifteen - year milestone of the First School of Culture of the South African Matrix of Bahia - Caxuté School. The practices described in this work consist of a brief report and structured reflections from the Knowledge Tours idealized from the Pedagogy of the Terreiro developed shared by the priestess of the candomblé of nation Kongo-Ngola Mametu Kafurengá. The text elucidates actions committed with the safeguard of the biocultural memory of the Bantu Indigenous ancestry; The strengthening of the traditional knowledge associated to the biodiversity of the Atlantic Forest region in the Southern Bahia Lowlands; The political-cultural formation of the Peoples of Terreiro associating the identity to the ancestral territory of the Dendê Coast. Finally, it was evidenced that the defense of the land and the ancestral Bantu Indigenous land in the Southern Bahia Lowlands, can contribute to the decolonization of agriculture, pointing out ways to sow the agroecological knowledge from the ancestral legacy of the Traditional Peoples that produce knowledge from another form to manage nature.
