This manuscript deals with the relationship between human being and nature in its interfaces with cultural knowledge and educational processes circulating in singular work experiences in the riverside community of Sobrado, in the Salgado region of the State of Pará. It discusses the configuration of the territories that form these experiences in the social daily life of this community. Work as a form of historical, social and cultural appropriation of local social groups, is effective by means of socio-environmental materials. Forests, rivers and mangroves, beyond the geographical dimension, constitute territorialities where the lives of men and women residing in the community are engendered in the cultural plot. Mythical characters such as the enchanted ones and other beings populate the symbolic and imaginary local universe, they make their home in these territories, and tint the daily life of the place. Finally, work is analyzed as a cultural mediator between the human being and nature, whose materiality of productive practices of collective knowledge is triggered. It is an ethnography of the way of being and living of the community, whose substrate is work in its ontological sense, through which are revealed educational processes that enhance an expanded conception of education and conditions of social reproduction of the community.
