“…Much more than a material resource, its symbolic dimension stands out. According to [47], "europeans, Africans and indigenous people wrote and mixed their beliefs and myths", thus enabling a breadth of mythological manifestations and worldviews on the aquatic surfaces of Brazil [48,49]. An example of this can be found in the studies of [50], which reports tales and superstitions with serpents and snakes in the waters of the Mata Cavalo community, Mato Grosso.…”

Background: Tales, myths, beliefs and superstitions are part of the daily life of traditional communities, which strongly believe in the interference of both natural forces and activities, as well as supernatural ones in their social manifestations. Whether in the imaginary facts or real situations experienced by residents, this set of relationships and symbolisms underlie the cosmology of that social group, through which it is possible to identify traces of the cultural and identity constitution of a people. In quilombola communities, the recurrence of these cultural elements is a common practice. In this perspective, the objective was to recognize the tales, myths, beliefs and superstitions of the Quilombola Custaneira/Tronco community in the state of Piauí, as instruments for reaffirmation and strengthening of traditional knowledge and local culture. Method: The methodological path was based on the ethnographic approach and the life history through semi-structured interviews with 23 residents, being older or living longer in the locality. Results: By entering the cosmological universe of the Custaneira/Tronco community and accessing the accounts involving their tales, myths, beliefs and superstitions, we can identify, as in other quilombola communities, the presence of three worlds: the dead, the living and the enchanted.Conclusions: The conclusive aspects point out that the tales, myths, beliefs and superstitions, like the “Father of the Forest”, the visions and the “Mother of Water”, greatly influence the social and cultural practices of the community, especially in hunting rituals, in the relationship with animals and with local natural resources. The cosmological arrangement performs functions that organize its social structure and maintain the connection with its ancestors and its traditionality.

Os cinco anos de caminhada que resultaram neste trabalho não foram nada solitários. As redes que vinham de antes e as que estabeleci ao longo desses anos, sem dúvida, foram e são fundamentais para atravessar momentos tão adversos para o país e para o planeta como esse. O agradecimento, portanto, é por ter podido contar com todo o apoio afetivo, material e espiritual para me dedicar à vida acadêmica durante esse período marcado por muito luto e muita luta.Primeiramente, agradeço às comunidades de Ivaporunduva, Mandira e da Tekoá Ko'enju por terem permitido acompanhar as suas caminhadas. Tudo o que vi, vivi e senti não cabe neste texto, mas espero poder continuar sendo um aliado de suas lutas e de outras comunidades indígenas e quilombolas.
