PRESENTATION
The Guiné-Bissau places in the coast Occidental person African, and limited to the north for the Senegal, the east and south for Yaw and the west for the Atlantic Ocean, having a 125 surface of 36 km2. According to projecções of the Census of 1991, the country would have a population of 1.181.641 inhabitants in the year of 2002. In accordance with the related census, in 1991 47% of the population had less than 15 years and the active population represented 48.3%. According to projecção for 2002, the active population would reach 51.4% and the young would represent 50.2% of the total population of the Guiné-Bissau. The country is divided in 8 administrative regions: Bafatá, Screen, Bolama-Bijagos, Cachéu, Gabú, Oio, Quinara, Tombali and the Autonomous Sector of Bissau SAB. These Regions are subdivided in some sectors. It understands it a continental part and to other insular (archipelago of the Bijagós), Atressado For a Net Very Dense De Rios With Lakes and Rituarios (the RIVER Cachéu, Mansoa, Geba, Corubal and the river Tombali). In the Bijagós islands, the virginity and the variety of the ecosystem, the beauty of palmares and the wealth of the seas are wide available only offers in all the islands and islets of the archipelago. The population of the Guiné-Bissau and characterized by considerable an ethnic diversity. A consensus does not exist on the concept and the number of the etnias. However, five ethnic groups represent more 85% of the total of the population (Fula- 25.4%, Balanta- 24.6%, Mandingas- 13.7%, Manjacas- 9.3%, and Papers 9%). The existence of this great ethnic diversity determines the existence of a linguístico mosaic. The Creole and considered the national language being the link of communication between people of different ethnic groups. However a good part of the population, over all in the agricultural zones of the country, does not obtain to communicate itself in Creole what it constitutes an obstacle in the relationship with the other population groups. Although the Portuguese, either the official language, this little are said, being only used in the half officers and for a small number of escolarizados guineenses. Guiné-Bissau is,
for the constitution a lay country. However it exists three religious groups: Muslen (46%), animistics (36%) and Christians (15%).
More still the marriage stops beyond constituting a social act, constitutes one estimated basic one for the exercise of the highest responsibility politics. It constitutes one of the criteria obligator so that the individual can be assigned (oronho) king. – For the most part of the islands of the archipelago two forests exist, one in each extremity, sense an initiation of raparigas and another one stops. But yes with long process of education that starts in the family, passes for the life in the community and finishes in the forest. It has varies characteristic phases with duration and different forms. One of the first phases and that where the young can for a short period of reclusion in the sacred forest in company of the pertaining young to the etário group of the youngsters goat leather dress the waist. During these days, they can go ties two weeks, it must fulfill with some obligations, one of which and to supply wine of palm, aguardente and food all the ones that had attended the act. The ritual of the fanado one properly said becomes in the forest during some months and understands teses of varies nature, including corporal. During the period of reclusion, to each initiating and data a name, the name why and known by its adult colleagues.
SOCIAL ORGANIZATION
Bijagós tribe In the society Bijagós youngsters and raparigas, old men, women and they enjoy of personal and individual freedoms, but they always must respect to the rights and collective duties want either to the level of the family, of the age classroom the one that belong, still want to the level of the community in the generality. The life of the improper ones meets prevailed by social rules determined by the conditions of the group, being, therefore the colectividade above all and of all. A colectividade where its members if are similar because they try the same feelings and they adhere to the same values and they recognize secret the same. E this I begin of relationship between the individuals and its tramway-car that during centuries and centuries conferred to the system of social organization of the Bijagos to other peoples in other parts of the globe, had known metamorphoses social e, consequentemente, had been abandoning determined practises cultural at the same time that others went sense introduced. These changes, already visible to the level of some islands, become to feel more to the level of the age classrooms the one that belong the Young, that is, in the seio of the Young. They are you influence that foreigners and tourists elapse of the frequent contacts with. Marriage and the family To judge for the degree of convivência between young raparigas, for its relative sexual freedom during the phase of kabaro or still for the responsibilities of each one A stage the society, we evidence that unions of pairs can be constituted since that the two establish between itself this pact. To the agreement, that has as objectivo I finish the fact union enters the two different young of sex, if it stipulated to call marriage. The Bijagós has two types of marriage, with different levels of responsabilização, over all in relation the born children of these marriage unions. It has the ones that are contracted by the not circuncisos young, during the phase of kabaro, and the question contracted by kassuka, individuals in full joy of its civic rights. To these marriages they are atribuidos different names, being isuni for kabaro and kanéau for kassuka. More still the marriage stops beyond constituting a social act, constitutes one estimated basic one for the exercise of the highest responsibility politics. It constitutes one of the criteria obligator so that the individual can be assigned (oronho) king. – For the most part of the islands of the archipelago two forests exist, one in each extremity, sense an initiation of raparigas and another one stops. But yes with long process of education that starts in the family, passes for the life in the community and finishes in the forest. It has varies characteristic phases with duration and different forms. One of the first phases and that where the young can for a short period of reclusion in the sacred forest in company of the pertaining young to the etário group of the youngsters goat leather dress the waist. During these days, they can go ties two weeks, it must fulfill with some obligations, one of which and to supply wine of palm, aguardente and food all the ones that had attended the act. The ritual of the fanado one properly said becomes in the forest during some months and understands teses of varies nature, including corporal. During the period of reclusion, to each initiating and data a name, the name why and known by its adult colleagues.
SYNOPSIS
Castro main personage of this responsible film of the park, is person who goes in them to lead to know all the problems that if live in the park and I regulate to know it through it, goes to know cerimónias, rituals, legends and myths of the Bijagós. I castrate is a man very respected although everything, it had immense difficulties in persuading the administrative authorities to banish the fishing and tourist operators from the park. During the film the dialogues of the narrative ones go to be in OF, and them they go to be seen alone of coasts. The film goes to count the way to live of the Bijagos natives through cerimónias, rituals and myths and the experiences of the fishing. I go to follow the fight of the survival of the turtles with the discrete chamber. The chamber sees the men, Young women e the children, in a familiar environment and the fight for the survival. I go to follow the experience of the turtles. The lie the corruption, opportunism and contradiction are sufficiently gifts in this film. The tripartite contact of I castrate (native, fishing, responsible administrative and the entrepreneurs) of a side conservadorismo of it I regulate of the other and the persistence and resistance of the fishing of the other. The history of the park “João Vieira and Poilão” arrives us, through photographs, posters images and video and also estatuetas or legends. In mine in case that, during the my infancy of time in how much I travel with my father, it he were maritime pilot. These trips for the archipelago of the “Bijagós”, allowed me to get passionate for marine life, I always admired the turtles, for me, this treasure that nature gives in them must be preserved and be conserved. One is about a full island of symbolism, legend and myth, in the archipelago of the “Bijagós” its inhabitants live of the activities of fish, and the destination of the personages is part of this collective unit. The film goes to speak of people of two different realities, is land owners others is immigrants who come in search of better condition of life, therefore they is obliged to destroy the habitat of the turtles to live better. In the park it is forbidden to hunt turtles nor to have sexual relation, also is forbidden to embed deceased and to cry, until last years hears balance between the people and the turtles. This balance is strong to be threatened with the arrival of the foreign fishing; Senegaleses, Gambianos, Guineenses de Yaw and Mountain range. There of the many people who had passed for this park all almost they want to be. For simple reason, the ticket point became in the destination point. Here they had been the fishing and here they had lived its lives, that would have been different, fished all what there they are without respecting the rules of the park much less to respect use and customs of the natives
The tourist operators are to construct tents in beaches for tourism, grow the activities of fish tourist and the capture of turtles, pollution, (harvest of eggs of turtles and exploration of the sand) thus established conflict between natives, fishing, entrepreneurs and tourist. The natives organize themselves in defense of its ethical and cultural values, I regulate it head traditional who assumes the power. A totalitarian power is not in way none. Each one could direct it according to it tradition. The accomplishments of great traditional ceremonies of initiation (FANADO), taking of ownership of (oronho) I regulate, in the process of ownership taking the men go to the park during the permanence they they only feed of meat of turtles when returning, bring three turtles of leather one is offered to the great women another one for the great men it finishes and it will be sacrificed in the BALOBA, to ask for deuses the protecção I regulate of it and the island. The existing relations between the Bijagós and turtles, above all green turtles are considered goddesses symbolize the peace, harmony and the joy, only heard to count it, because it does not have nothing written, when I proper was there to stop, I visited the park I was lost in that paradise of turtles mixed with oportunismos and egoism of the men. Since, in it finishes instance, who is the direct beneficiary of the use of the sea, fish, forests, of the animals whose wealth are not based on a monthly wage, nor in urban commercial exchanges, nor in other forms of enrichment and immediate prescription creation, but yes, that they are based on the direct use of the resources that the nature offers to them. Therefore I am interested in over all helping to the populations of the archipelago and the population of the Guiné-Bissau of as valuing and not only conserving the turtles and of the way of the preservation it ecosystem in particular. On the other hand, in the orientation directa to the peasants who daily deal with these resources, authorizing to them some tracks on the well-taken care of principles to have and alternatives you fish of them of the turtles, in order to allow to the regeneration of the essences the long term; On the other hand, in the creation of a species of seeds of the vision of the future, from the initiation of nuclei of young on the ambient questions and conservation of the turtles.
Over all teaching to this future users of environmental resources and future actores of politics económica of country, that these resources could not well be managed, that the populations will not be able to accept the rules of the park in the direction of a reaccional use, while it will not have a coherent interconnection enters the strategies politics of the governing, the combat the poverty (a fishing family with lacks cannot prevent of fishes as form of daily survival) and the integrated development (the access the learning and the formation in some necessary domínios for the creation of wealth in the parents. The natives when raparem the behaviors of the fishing, had associated with Castro, Regulate and the ambient associations had taken decisions to contain fish uncontrolled in the park. Decision that, even so taken very late, I see in the assumed case of traditional ceremonies with a new I begin. I regulate it prefers to die in defense of the land of its ancestor, in its name, could not leave of if feeling as a new world without the threats of the lives. E was in that “land piece” that fincou more. It will be that to some I regulate it time, I castrate and the ambient associations had repented to have unchained the fight against fish illegal? They had made if it, I do not believe that to some they confessed it time. It enters the ones that here had been, had created friendships with natives for the remaining portion of its lives. But so that many years of fight had arrived had been necessary, of linguísticas difficulties, mentalities mainly total different e, for insuportáveis times. It is difficult to imagine the arrival of these men, come of Senegal, Mali, Libéria, Gambia, and of Mountain range-Lioness the islands and to the park concretely “João Vieira and Poilao” the local administrative authorities are fragile corrupt, in which its responsible ones do not receive its commanded have many years, they had decided to authorize the permanence in this locality. In this it goes and it comes of I castrate, always I go to follow it without losing nothing of sight. It is, these mixtures of realities are histories inside of the history, that this film intends to count and to show.
LEGEND
In a distant past already the turtles lived without land as distinct peoples, and each one adored its proper deity. Later, the pirates, accustomed to fight for the been silent one of the night, had set on fire the tents and had taken the slavery all the five species of turtles. The situation was so me, that the Young had joined to save the generation. , Them they had one day left the search the promised land, had walked all night and day for, islands, islets and ilhéus of the archipelago. Exaustas almost without hope to find the paradise, already almost half not to want to continue the trip. A certain morning, the green turtle saw two land pieces, lost in the sea; it said the colleagues: they come… come all, we go those lands to rest and to recoup the energies. When arriving the islands, had discovered a paradise, had passed two nights, comfortable and sossegadas there. They had started to call PARADISE TURTLES nobody remembered to come back the house. Passed two years, all the families had left with all its to have in search of the children, had come the descobriz them in the safe islands that today we call João Vieira and Poilão sãs and under the protecção of deuses of beaches.
