Algumas festas tradicionais dos Tremembé da Barra do Mundaú – Ce

Abstract

The present work presents some festivals of the Tremembé of Barra do Mundaú in the perspective of highlighting three of these important festivals for the people. The Tremembé People of Barra do Mundaú have several traditional cultural festivals during the year that celebrate culture, struggle, spirituality, food culture, ways of survival and management of the territory. However, the work speaks specifically of three of these festivals, being the Feast of Murici and Batiputá, the Feast of Iemanjá and the Flour Festival, the people hold several others, but our focus here is to talk about the three already presented. The work has a brief presentation of the People, how they live and their relationship with the traditional festivals in the construction of the collective memory and also brings an inventory with photographic records of these festivals with speeches of the elderly about their view of the festivals and how they contribute to the strengthening of our struggles in the territory and in the state movement. To conclude, we bring a reflection about the principles and values of the ethnicity with regard to the Traditional Festivals, bringing the perspective of the leaders, the elders and also the youngest, understanding that they will be the ones who will continue our struggles and our traditional festivities.
