This quilombo offers a privileged space for understanding processes of rights demands made by local population referencing the Article 68 ADCT/CF-1988. They call themselves the children of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and despite the slave ancestry of this group, the most vivid aspect of their identity is the devotion to the Saint. Nevertheless, in the struggle for the State recognition process the commom slave past resurfaces as a source of entitlement to the recognition prescribed by the law. Moreover, the emergence of the maroon condition follows formal requirements that tend to minimize local particularities although exposing the peculiarities concerning the legal regulation of identity.
