This series follows the investigations of archaeologist Eduardo Góes Neves and his team at the archaeological site of Monte Castelo, a riverside shell mound built six thousand years ago by indigenous peoples who lived on the banks of the Guaporé river, in the state of Rondônia. The excavations reveal objects, adornments, and human remains in what used to be a cemetery, as well as agricultural remnants that prove how indigenous peoples transformed the forest, challenging the idea that the region was devoid of human presence.

A documentary told by the voices and perspectives of girls (ba’öno) and boys (até rémi), revealing the everyday lives of the a’wuê, children from the Xavante people, on the Pimentel Barbosa indigenous land, in the state of Mato Grosso. By following their plays and activities such as fishing, forest adventures, river exploring, and lessons from the elders, we begin to understand how traditions passed down from generation to generation, in a cycle that echoes the need to respect nature and be part of it.

The waters around the upper and middle Negro river, in Amazônia, are the territory of the Baré indigenous people. This ethnicity changed their original language, the baré, for the nheengatu (modern tupi, a latin american indigenous language) and the portuguese, under the influence of portuguese jesuits and carmelites. Despite this, the barés preserve their ancestors’ traditions, be it in cooking—based on fishing and cassava harvests—or cultural habits dedicated to legends and ceremonies like the kariamã, a rite of passage for teenagers into adult life.
