The objective of this work is to recognize the Amerindian cultural heritage on the Amazon Atlantic coast and to promote the autochthonous identity for local development. Therefore, through in situ research, with archaeological and ethnohistorical surveys and documentary research, we reiterate the hypothesis of movements of Amerindian and Quilombola populations in the region, which left traces in artifacts and also in the memory of the natives and in their work practices, as well as in toponymy, leading us to consider sites and routes in the establishment of the Igaruan populations, in their migrations and intercultural exchanges. Certainly, this approximation of peoples from the Amazon estuary, more than the construction of territorialities, is the recognition of ethnic imbrications in the anthropization of the Amazon through coastal navigation, “bordering” the coast.
