This study aims to map and characterize the patterns of ethnic-territorial associativism in the Baixo Amazonas region. We believe that understanding the repertoires of associativism rooted in ethnicity and territory – along with their social bases and claims – adds valuable depth to the literature on participation and social movements. By emphasizing territorial conflicts, territorialities, and ethnicities as essential mobilizing resources, this approach addresses gaps often present in certain areas of academic work in this field. The final outputs from the research group will highlight the collective, solidarity-driven, and resistance-oriented ways of life of Amazonian peoples as a means of opposing economic policies that erode rights, degrade the environment, and threaten their traditional territories.
