PROJETOS DE TURISMO EM TERRAS INDÍGENAS: Tremembé de Itapipoca e Jenipapo-Kanindé de Aquiraz - Ceará (tourist projects in indigenous lands: the Tremembé people of Itapipoca and the Jenipapo-Kanindé people of Aquiraz in Ceará state, Brazil)
Abstract
Neste artigo discuto dois povos indígenas do estado do Ceará, no Nordeste brasileiro. Apresento à situação do povo Tremembé da comunidade Buriti e Sítio São José de Itapipoca, face ao projeto ‘Nova Atlântida’ – Cidade Turística e Residencial, empreendimento transnacional imposto a citada etnia indígena. Em seguida, menciono o povo Jenipapo-Kanindé de Aquiraz o qual acata um projeto de turismo em suas terras, considerado de auto-gestão e base comunitária. Para subsidiar as discussões propostas, a partir de produções acadêmicas da geografi a humana enfoco o turismo e, por meio da antropologia trago algumas noções da etnologia indígena com ênfase para os povos indígenas do Nordeste. Completo o diálogo com dados da pesquisa documental e, especialmente os da pesquisa de campo. Esta última resultou nas múltiplas interpretações dos atores sociais entrevistados sobre a inclusão e exclusão dos povos indígenas em projetos de turismo no Brasil.Palavras-chave: Povos indígenas, turismo, projetos, inclusão, exclusão.
ABSTRACT
This article is about two indigenous peoples of Ceará state, in the Northeast region of Brazil. I present the situation of the Tremembé people of Buriti and Sítio São José communities in Itapipoca municipality, in relation to the ‘Nova Atlântida’ – Touristic and Residential City project, a transnational venture imposed on the cited indigenous people. Then I mention the Jenipapo-Kanindé people of Aquiraz municipality who have taken on a tourist project in their lands, considered to be self-management and community based. I subsidize the proposed discussions with academic productionsof human geography, and I focus tourism, using anthropology, and bringing some notions from ethnology with Indigenous Peoples with an emphasis on Indigenous Peoples of the Northeast of Brazil. I complete the dialogue with data obtained from documental research and, especially, from fi eld work. My fi eld work brought multiple interpretations of the social actors interviewed, about the inclusion and exclusion of Indigenous peoples in tourist projects in Brazil.
Key words: Indigenous peoples, tourism, projects, inclusion, exclusion.
RÉSUMÉ
L’article concerne deux peuples autochtones du Ceará, État du Nord-Est brésilien: le peuple Tremembé, réparti en deux communautés, Buriti et Sítio São José (commune d’Itapipoca), confrontées au projet ‘Nova Atlântida’ – Cité touristique et résidentielle imposé par un promoteur immobilier transnational, et le peuple Jenipapo-Kanindé (commune d’Aquiraz), qui a accepté un projet touristique considéré comme autogéré et basé sur la communauté. À l’appui des discussions proposées, j’ai recours à des travaux universitaires de géographie humaine sur le tourisme et à des notions d’ethnologie concernant plus particulièrement les peuples autochtones du Nord-Est brésilien. Ce dialogue est complété par des données tirées de recherches documentaires et, en particulier, de terrain. Ces dernières ont révélé les interprétations multiples des acteurs sociaux interviewés sur l’inclusion et l’exclusion des peuples autochtones par les projets touristiques au Brésil.
