Cyborguian ethnography
Márcio Maia Malta
 After a pleasant conversation with one of the big men of the mother village (Barra Velha), I asked permission to photograph. The sky was cloudy and the wind was moderate, even so, I made the preparations to expand my body. I took off and went about 700 meters into the sea at an altitude of almost 300 meters. I tried to frame the land landscape of the coast whose horizon line is bounded by the sacred Mount Pascoal. |  Paths to the other villages near Monte Pascoal (Campo do Boi, Meio da Mata, Boca da Mata, Pará, Pé do Monte, Tupiniquin, Cassiana, Nova, Guaxuma, and Jitai). In the lower right corner is the Barra Velha village school. |  Restinga (typical coastal biome in the Northeast of Brazil |

Above is the concrete sidewalk that leads from the BR-367 to the landmark of the First Mass in Brazil. |  |  The seaside restinga areas |
 Historical landmark of the "Discovery". In the center, the iron cross built against the will of the Pataxó in the celebration of the 500 years of the Invasion |  Aerial view of the backyard of a Pataxó house |  Most of the houses in the Mother Village have one of their doors facing the Sea. In the acts of blessing, it is in this direction that the evil is thrown. |

 Coroa Vermelha Village (block a). In a second attempt to frame this part of Coroa Vermelha's indigenous land, and after strong winds and momentary loss of connection with the airspace, I got this shot. |
