Walking and negotiating landscapes: building the Ibiramã Kiriri of Acré village

Abstract

The Kiriri do Acré people have been living in the South of Minas Gerais since 2017, when sixteen families left the Kiriri village of Barra, in the western region of Bahia, to occupy land in the Rio Verde neighborhood, a rural area in the municipality of Caldas/MG. This article highlights that Kiriri´s families circulate and circulate elements that compose the landscapes wherever they go and, thus, build their territory, so that negotiating, walking, getting to know, and interacting with the world is a way of inhabiting it. The landscapes, therefore, are alive, referring to the movement of life. This article aims to demonstrate how landscapes are perceived and interact with the Kiriri do Acré.
