ABSTRACT Traditional ecological knowledge is a system of knowledge that reflects the adaptation of human populations to their environment. The objective of this study was to accomplish a knowledge survey of the Arara indigenous on the birds of natural occurrence in their territory, and the understanding that these indigenous people have about the diversity of birds and their interrelationships, according to their common characteristics and ecological connections. The studies were carried out with indigenous people of the Arara ethnic group, residents of the Arara's Big Bend of Xingu Indigenous Land, in the State of Pará, Brazil, in the Amazon rainforest. As a method for collecting the data was used open and semi-structured interviews. The basis of this approach encompasses a socio-affective construction of knowledge. This method aligns with the Indigenous worldview, respects and upholds its relational significance, transcribes lived and presented cultural experiences with a rich use of metaphors, stories, and symbols, with sound and visual features and landscapes as an experience of living space, exploring the environmental, mythical and spiritual dimensions of indigenous peoples.

What we call fantastic, one of the dimensions of the supernatural, is, in turn, understood as one of the forms of the real by the indigenous people. This study sought to document the rich culture of the fantastic entities of indigenous populations from different regions of the Amazon, from which folkloric and demonic beliefs often emerge. The purpose of this article is to expand and develop an understanding of an aesthetic, semiotic, metaphorical, and symbolic order of the indigenous culture of the Amazon, through sensitivity, ecological awareness, and respect for the culture and history of these traditional peoples. The method of this study aligns with the Indigenous worldview, and respect, and upholds its relational significance. It transcribes lived and presented cultural experiences with a rich use of metaphors, stories, and symbols, of sound and visual features and landscapes as an experience of living space, exploring the environmental, mythical, and spiritual dimensions of indigenous peoples.
