Focusing on and clearing up the life style of this community, particularly leading it into social knowledge, became our main goal, once it is from then on that one has possibility of understanding the feeling and the view the group has about itself and from society towards it as a quilombola group. The paper is divided in 3 chapters. The first one presents a teory on the formation process and the relevance of quilombos in the settlemen of Amazon. In the second chapter, its origin, histiry and regularization process are emphasized, with a focus on the people involved in this fact ando n the consequences they suffer for remaining as negroe descendants. Finally, the third chapter reveals the case study in which the infrastructure and socioeconomic conditions of thisa community are detailed. However, the up-todate máster plano of Macapá, which has the constitutional obligation of helpingin the protection and development of minorities, does not include public policies and, so, leaves this community in a level beneath the urban.
