Resumo
This thesis emerges from an ethnographic journey alongside the Coopyguá Cooperative and the Tupyguá Seed Network among the Tupinikim peoples of Espírito Santo, Brazil. The writing follows the paths of honey, seeds, and the alliances woven between people, bees, plants, and institutions in a territory shaped by memories, disputes, and acts of reoccupation. Guided by listening and care, the text traces how everyday practices of work and kinship sustain other ways of living and relating to the land. In the encounters with public policies, companies, and development projects, frictions arise between Indigenous worlds and the categories that seek to contain them, ethnodevelopment, bioeconomy, entrepreneurship. These languages, often presented as promises of progress, also act as subtle forms of governance and capture of the common, challenged by Tupinikim practices that insist on returning to the earth what belongs to it. The research takes form as a gesture of reciprocity and dialogue, suggesting that Coopyguá is not merely an economic initiative, but a way of remaking territory, reweaving relations, and delaying the end of the world.
