This paper investigates socio-environmental governance in a Quilombola territory in the semi-arid region of Paraiba. Adopting a perspective that seeks to understand, through Quilombola lived experience and knowledge, how these communities organize themselves as collective and autonomous territories, incorporating their own conceptions and practices. Employing an ethnographic method, we seek to understand the culture and the social-environmental relationships present in the community. Fieldwork and interviews were conducted, applying oral history and memory methods. Based on the narratives of the interviewees, it was possible to trace the community's evolution and the socio-environmental changes that occurred, relating them to historical time and the evolution of public policies, contrasting official documents with the community's subjective perception.
