Socio-productive structure of the Kawaiwete village and the relationship with the goodness of nature

Abstract

The objective of the article was to analyze the socioproductive structure of the indigenous plantations and the relationship with the goodness of nature employed by the Kawaiwete village. The investigation was carried out using the ‘snowball’ technique, with the selection of 14 respondents. The semi-structured interview was adopted with questions related to the socioproductive structure and its relations with nature. The activities developed involved the researcher’s rapport knowledge with the community. The socioproductive structure is organized, basically, according to the composition of the family nucleus and its needs. For the formation of the plantations, the indigenous people take into account their beliefs, which support a socio-natural calendar based on the signs of nature and productive techniques. Thus, traditional knowledge is the key that connects the productive system with the goodness of natu-re, transmitted between the generations of the Kawaiwete, which ensures a harmonic balance between man and the environment.
