A cultural keystone species has great significance to a particular culture or a people, who influence the social systems and culture of a community's identity. The objective of this study was to carry out a survey on the importance of the jaguar in the way of life of indigenous people of Brazilian territory. The studies were carried out with Indigenous people living in the Brazilian Amazon, from the Juruna, Arara, Tenharim, and Mura ethnic groups, and in the Savannah biome, from the Bororo, Xavante, Guarani Kaiowá and Guarani Ñandeva ethnic groups. The approach used in this study was qualitative because the data were obtained through semi-structured interviews, following free dialogues in obtaining descriptive data from the reports of the target audience. There are many narratives about aspects of the jaguar because this feline is one of the most important animals in the cosmology of the people who inhabit the Brazilian forests and savannas.

In this ethnobotany study carried out in the Tenharim indigenous territory, located in the interior of the State of Amazonas, Brazil, it was verified, through interviews, the rich biocultural heritage of this indigenous people, which uses hundreds of plant species for different purposes, such as medicinal, food, crafts, firewood, tools and buildings in general. The objective of this study was to survey the knowledge that the Tenharim have about the existing vegetation in their territory, and how this information is transmitted. The wide variety of registered plant species demonstrated that the use of plants is very comprehensive. This biocultural heritage is held collectively, and the survival of knowledge depends on the quality of communication. The knowledge acquired by the ancients continues to be transmitted to new generations orally and, more recently, through writing, guaranteeing the maintenance and preservation of traditional Tenharim culture.
