Female protagonism and the resumption of the Tupinambá of Serra do Padeiro

Abstract

The article analyzes the comic Os Donos da Terra and its focus on female characters in the context of the territorial and ancestral resumption after the robbery of their lands. Written by Indigenous and non-Indigenous authors, the comic is composed of a series of narratives that shed light on the historical and recent events of the Tupinambá of the Serra do Padeiro. The narrative highlights the importance of land in the indigenous worldview, in the soil as a physical space, but also as a transmitter of ancestral knowledge essential for the practice of "buen vivir". It also highlights the prominence of women and the intersectionality of the oppression they face due to their gender, ethnicity, and economic status.
