Notas sobre luta, Encantados e o povo Pataxó Hãhãhãi

Abstract

This article presents situations and reports of the relationships between the Pataxó Hãhãhãi People in the Caramuru-Paraguassu Indigenous Land, located between the municipalities of Pau Brasil, Itaju do Colônia and Camacã, in southern Bahia, and their multiple beings other than human, fundamental for everyday life and struggle. Thus, based on ethnographic research carried out at different historical moments, over two decades, events are described that involve the relationship of these people with the jurema, the pipe and tobacco, with the land, the people and the Enchanted. Finally, what stands out, above all, is the role of the ritual and action of the Enchanted in the actions to recover land carried out during thirty years of full occupation of the traditional territory.
