Amazônia and Cerrado

Research and outreach project in collaboration with Marcelo Santos Rodrigues (UFT) and Christine Hunefeldt (UCSD), combining ethnographies in riverside communities in the southern Amazon region of Tocantins with documentary research on the 18th-century gold rush. The research addresses topics such as banditry, violence, religious festivals, quilombos, and the complex relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in the region.
