Course: Arts and Crafts of Traditional Knowledge: Land Policies In the second half of 2018, we received Makota Valdina as a professor of the Earth Policies course. We expected her to come back in 2019 to call the bush back. When visiting the forest of Estação Ecológica (Ecological Park), she appears again in the images with her teachings and songs. This was the last time that she was filmed in life.

At the top of Serra do Padeiro (BA), the Tupinambá people resist invasions, reaffirming their original right to the territory. Leaders such as Dona Maria da Glória and the shaman Seu Lírio guide a daily life of care for the forest, rituals, and spiritual strength. The film is an intimate and political testimony of a continuous process of reclaiming and affirming the traditional existence of the Tupinambá people of Serra do Padeiro.
