The last decades of national environmental policy and management were marked by the recognition and acknowledgement of traditional peoples in the conservation of the environment. In this context, this research investigated the human-environment relationship of a riverside community of the Brazilian Amazon. The main research question was: how do residents of the Extractive Reserve Lake Cuniã understand and evaluate their relationship with the environment? The research occurred in the school space, through the application of 24 questionnaires, triangulated to direct observations of community life and informal conversations. The main results demonstrate that the residents evaluate as positive and conservationist/pragmatic the community relationship and its individual relationship with the environment. From the data emerge (self)reflections for the field of environmental education research, highlighting the historicity of the notion of "environment" and its implications to develop inquiries and actions with peoples in relation of direct interdependence with nature.
