The cultivation of Creole seeds is part of the wisdom of the ancestral legacy, which can be told since the beginning of the agriculture history, being the traditional communities the great guardians of this cultural heritage, whose teachings transpose the preservation of their memories, since they call attention to the preservation of life itself on the planet and of the next generations, where the preservation of the genetic heritage of these seeds will guarantee the biodiversity existing on Earth. Faced with this reality, this study aims to analyze how the ways of collective organization based on the cultivation of Creole seeds contribute to the preservation of the Quilombola socio-cultural identity in the quilombo community Sítio Veiga in the city of Quixadá, in Ceará state. This research has a qualitative nature, carried out in loco, whose guiding mode was ethnographic, with participant observation, methods that are fundamental for a greater approximation and interaction with the social subjects of the research and the actions inherent to the cultivation of Creole seeds.
Storytelling in traditional communities is passed on through orality from one generation to the next, connecting the past with the present by recalling the latent memory of their ancestors. It is a magical and playful moment, told and narrated during the bean threshing, awakening the awareness of aspects related to the care for life and the environment, while establishing the feelings of collectivity, union, and collective organization, making these moments a process of struggle and resistance to keep their traditions alive. Thus, the present study aims to analyze how the ancestral knowledge perpetuated in storytelling contributes to the processes of struggle and resistance of the Fernanda Ielpo da Cunha et al.
