This article, based on Paulo Freire’s contributions, analyzes the collective experiences of riverside communities of the Marajó Archipelago, Pará, Brazil, in search of guaranteeing rights. It starts with the idea of ​​education as a political act (FREIRE, 1987, 1992, 1996) and the critical discussion about the capitalist-colonial development model (CASTRO, 2010) to think and act in the face of the current social vulnerability. Methodologically, the line of interdisciplinary reflection in the fields of Popular Education and Sociology, which characterizes the critical approach of the article, was adopted. The primary sources came from the valorization of the word in conversation circles, from workshops on social organization and from the affirmation of culture in community activities. The results point to initiatives for the formation of residents’ associations, qualification for income generation activities and the recognition of the value of riverside communities as holders of histories, potencies and socio-territorial rights.

Palabras clave : Riverside communities; Rights; Social organization.
