Abstract:
The research was committed to understanding the traditional knowledge of the Tremembé ethnic group from Barra do Mundaú concerning the native fruits of their territory, as well as to offer a contribution to the Northeastern Indians' ethnobotany. An ethnographic methodology was chosen conjointly with a qualitative approach. Indigenous tribes preserve the natural resources and knowledge associated with them while keeping alive their cultural diversity.
Key words:
