The aim of this article is to bring to light the life trajectories of black Amazonian women — made invisible in Brazilian and Northern historiography and epistemology —, which were resurrected by poetic texts through the thought-provoking writing of teachers from the Continuing Education Program (Parfor ), from the Licentiate Degree in Pedagogy at the Federal University of Amapá (Unifap), as a didactic-pedagogical production activity developed in the curricular component: Theory and Practice of Teaching Afro-Brazilian History and Culture as a strategy for implementing Federal Law n. 10.639/2003, on the “school floor”. The activity highlighted here is an offshoot of the Canoas Pedagogy methodology, which intended to shed light on the identities of resurrected black women through poetic texts capable of dignifying and recognizing their relevance in the historical, social and community dynamics that conform the heterogeneous spatial and identity geography from the cities of Amapá and also from the islands of Pará, in the North of Brazil.
