Dynamics of knowledge and the biocultural heritage of indigenous people in the Amazon

Dario F. R.

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.
