Terreiros de Candomblé; Ethnic Groups; Sacred Territoriality; National Patrimony Recognition
This research expatiates about the documental study of the Terreiro da Casa Branca’s recognition as
national patrimony, in which I attempt to explore the methods of protection and preservation of the
historical territoriality of the Ilê Axé Nassô Oká, in face of threat of losing its sacred territory and identity.
