Abstract

The aim of this article is to present that the changes in the land use resulting from the implantation of the National Park Grande Sertão Veredas in Minas Gerais reveal times (the previous and the present time). These times reveal the native categories ‘Gerais'/ ‘Sertão'. In order to elucidate this process, I present the ethnography of herdsman Samuel, an emblematic figure of the changes occurred in the land use. My analysis will focus on the description of four points: to which degree the ways of talking and offering food were bridges that brought to light the 'Gerais' meanwhile 'Sertão' was presented, in which sense the house emerged as a symbol of the changes that had occurred, such as transformations included me in an exchange network; and what was the strategy used by the herdsman in his relationship with the managers of the National Park to stay in his land while waiting to indemnification of his property
