- Abstract
Cultural dynamics are (re) elaborated daily and used for multiple purposes, including tourism. This article aims to understand the gastronomic know-how of the tapioqueiras of Vila de Mosqueiro, their memories, application as a livelihood strategy, dynamics, and correlations mainly with tourism. The "tapioquinha de Mosqueiro" is one of the main attractions of Mosqueiro Island, 80 km from Belém, capital of Pará. Bibliographic and field researches were quintessential for this article. Along with scripted interviews about the tapioqueiras' life story, questionnaires directed to them and the local public authorities and photographic record. The data show that the know-how of these women has transformed into an alternative income associated with tourism, integrating the island's tourist attractiveness. However, despite the importance of this activity for workers, for the island and the state, the knowledge and work of tapioqueiras are still undervalued and neglected, especially by the public authorities.
