RESUMO

Historically, since the arrival of the Portuguese, the Brazilian indigenous people experienced processes of exclusion and exploration, giving rise to the struggle to remain and the right to use the territory inhabited by their ancestors. While trying to assure their rights, several strategies of survival and permanence as ways to overcome social and environmental pressures and the dispute for the hegemony over the possession and the use of the existing resources in the territory, as practiced by the not-indigenous population. This study focuses the relation of the Fulni-Ã indigenous people with the environment through strategies of surpassing social and environmental adversities, analyzing the condition to adaptation of this people to these situations. The investigation was centered in the social, cultural and environmental implications of the economic activities arising out of the construction of strategies and the perception that the Fulni-Ã have about their environment. The results demonstrate a multiplicity of economical and social-environmental strategies adopted to guarantee the physical and cultural survival of this indigenous people, being these well adaptive in a level, and badly adaptive in another, when compared to the dimensions of the sustainable human development. In this sense, the perception that the Fulni-Ã have of their environment is related to the level of attention to their needs for survival and conviviality with the environment
