This work is the result of the master's research, addressing the conflicts faced by the riverside community of Camp Coragem in relation to the Estreito Hydroelectric Power Plant (MA). The objective is to present the results of the systematization of the experience of social mapping carried out in the community. As a methodology, participant observation and life story interviews with camp residents were adopted in order to present the narratives of resistance and the coping strategies adopted by the community in relation to the impacts caused by the dam's entrepreneurs, in this case the Estreito Energia consortium (CESTE). Since its installation, the plant continues to impact the lives of traditional communities. The Courage Camp emerges in 2015, in which fishermen and riverine dwellers occupy the land owned by CESTE, the plant's entrepreneur, as a way of claiming the rights violated with the construction of the dam. The results of the survey show that, even after eight years of constructing the Estreito Hydroelectric Power Station, the power station continues to impact the riverside communities and their livelihoods, as well as their professional practices, suffering compulsorily after the dam's construction.
