Figure 8 shows a spatial representation of a traditional quilombola terreiro (yard), to the north of Goiás, in the large territory of Kalunga, where the organization and use of well-defined spaces reveal a logic of survival and life maintenance, including the place where flour is produced, the place where surpluses are kept for exchange or sale, the place where cakes and biscuits are baked, the element of community in the manufacture of cassava flour, the sacred place where the pestle is found and the area where animals are grouped together. The use of space and the maintenance of the environment (the proximity to the river and the presence of numerous trees involved in the different uses of the territory) demonstrate the strong connection of the traditional space with nature.
