Questions concerning the traditional communities, from the perspective of human rights are an important issue in Brazilian society, especially in the current context. Thus, in order to contribute to a deeper investigation into ethnic groups this dissertation aims to analyse the construction process of the ethnic territoriality of maroons in the Quilombo Community Ipiranga. The now investigated community is located in the municipality of Conde, in the mesoregion of Mata Paraibana. In this investigation, initially, we register the path of struggle of black people in Brazil through its resistance and the conquest of rights. Regarding the Quilombo Community Ipiranga, we seek to analyse the traditional process of occupation of its territory, as well as forms of traditional use of the territory, such as agriculture, fishing and hunting. We also emphasize the process of struggle and resistance experienced by the inhabitants not to be expelled from their traditional territory. As an outcome of this process of struggle, we discussed the meaning of self- recognition as Maroons and the importance of cultural elements, such as the coco de roda Novo Quilombo, in the construction of ethnic identity. From the theoretical and methodological point of view, working in interdisciplinary perspective, we conducted a literature review on the topic in documents and bibliographies. Fieldwork was also a vital part of the research for allowing us to elucidate the objectives investigated in the community. The chapters that make up this dissertation were based on those methodologies. Thus, research has enabled us to affirm the importance of territory for social reproduction and ethnic identity of the community. In this sense, we call attention to the lengthy administrative processes of land tenure in the country and the need for expansion and realization of the entitlements of quilombo territories.
