Quilombo Santana is located in a rural area of the district of Ribeirão São Joaquim, in the city of Quatis, state of Rio de Janeiro (middle valley of the River Paraíba do Sul). The Quilombo is currently composed of 21 families, 17 of them self-recognized in accordance with the standards established by the Palmares Cultural Foundation. And it is titled by the same institution since July 14, 2000. However, until the present date, there was still no expropriation of the farms that are in the Quilombo territory - according to the Article 216 of the Brazilian Federal Constitution - which is making the Quilombo insulated and unable to carry on with their traditional practices as well as their livelihood. The aim of this work is understanding how the lack of action of local government and ownership of the surrounding land the Quilombo Santana Territory influenced the process of community displacement, under a more holistic perspective, contemplating the points of view of all of the sides involved in this territorial conflict. The consequences of the displacement for the Quilombo and the inhabitants of Quatis were also considered in order to highlight the importance of maintaining the identity of this Quilombo and its traditional knowledge.
