| Abstract | |
The present work examines the presence of traditional knowledges and practices of indigenous societies in the farming production of the State of Maranhão and Grão-Pará, between 1670 and 1757. This research follows evidences that ranges from the 1670s, when the settlers had a strong incentive by the Portuguese Crown to begin a systematic cultivation of native plants; until 1757, when occurs the reform known as "Pombaline Reforms", changing the organization of the regional production. Starting from the presence of indigenous practices in the context, mostly on subsistence farming, we look for understand how the colonial society has adapted that productive model for their needs. Furthermore, we look to understand how that presence was influential for the division of labor, farming production and the exploitations of the Amazon’s rainforest resources (AU) | |
