The aim of this article is to understand how the Pau d'Arco and Parateca Quilombo carries out territorial management, taking sustainability into account without losing the necessary changes, struggles, coping strategies and resistance. The quilombo under study belongs to Malhada municipality, located in the southwestern region of Bahia State and is part of Velho Chico Citizenship Territory. This work also seeks to make a quilombola community and its social subjects visible, as we understand that the territory is a guardian of ancestral knowledge and relationships that are important for human survival. To this end, we held discussions with men and women who not only live in the community, but are also custodians of the local knowledge. We concluded that the legacy of resistance and organization presented by the Pau d'Arco and Parateca Quilombo is an inspiration for future generations, showing the importance of valuing and protecting ancestral lands and traditions. Therefore, the struggle for territory and the right to fish is a reflection of the determination and commitment of this community to defend what is rightfully theirs. Keywords: Quilombo, Territorialization processes, Territorial management, Resistance, Resignifications.
