Abstract
This work seeks to trace the colonial archive of the Brazilian State through two experiments on the racialization of traditional peoples and communities. Although they took place in different contexts, locations and agents, they are articulated by discourses and ideals that unite them. At first, we traced the documents of the Brazilian Navy, which recorded the mission of instructing and sanitizing fishing populations, creating the first fishing colonies with the objective of modernizing them and raising them to the human condition and worthy of serving the country. In the second part, based on academic speeches, planners and businessmen, we map how the economic potential of babassu (Attalea ssp.) is highlighted, and should be benefited and industrialized, saved from the poverty and indigence of rural peoples, presenting itself as a redeemer of the Maranhão economy, perhaps Brazilian.
