Abstract
The remaining quilombola communities, often neglected in terms of their legal and social recognition, constitute spaces of resistance, in which ancestral knowledge, practices and traditions remain preserved, especially with regard to the relationship of respect for land and culture. In this context, this study aimed to outline the identity and sustainability profile of the Manoel Ciriáco dos Santos Quilombola Remnant Community, Guaíra, Paraná state, Brazil, considering aspects of the three pillars of sustainability. The research adopted as methodological instruments discussion groups and semi-structured interviews with community representatives. The content analysis technique was used to analyze the data, organized based on the categories: social, economic and environmental aspects. The results demonstrate that the community faces significant challenges, especially related to the process of territorial demarcation, which directly impact the level of education and the preservation of local cultural manifestations. It was also observed that community members recognize their daily practices as sustainable, since they are based on respect and conservation of the environment. Therefore, the Manoel Ciriáco dos Santos community represents an important resistance movement in the face of territorial and social conflicts, remaining firm in the affirmation of its ethnic and cultural identity. Their way of life rescues and preserves traditional values and knowledge, with agriculture as their main source of income, characterized by practices with low environmental impact, especially when compared to the activities carried out on neighboring rural properties.
