Relato de experiência: comunidade São Francisco do Matupá sua luta em busca de melhorias e direitos

Abstract

This experience report is based on historical research, which consists of analyzing the struggles and experiences of community members in the Matupá Lake region, which gave rise to the São Francisco community. It provides an understanding of the community formation process, including the struggles to establish themselves on their lands. Historical documents and oral history were used as the main research method. The findings indicate that the community emerged in a context of marginalization, where its members faced challenges such as lack of access to basic services, discrimination, and social exclusion. During the formation process, people came together to demand rights and improvements in their living conditions.
