This article presents a survey of traditional peoples and communities in Santa Catarina state (SC) and identifies the existence of situations of environmental conflicts involving their territories. We analyzed and systematized dispersed data gathered from bibliographic review (theses, dissertations, papers, official and unofficial secondary data, among others) and carried out a critical reflection, based on the perspectives of Political Ecology and Environmental Justice, about their situation in SC. In this sense, the work aims to identify the traditional peoples and communities existing in SC, who they are, where they live, if they face or have faced situations of environmental conflicts. With the study, it was possible to verify that there is a great diversity of actors in SC that can be considered traditional peoples and communities and that, in general, they face situations of socioeconomic vulnerability and experience or have experienced conflicts related to their territories. The existence of territorial environmental conflicts involving traditional peoples and communities seems to be a common and recurring phenomenon in SC.
