It appears that they have learned to live with the limitations and challenges that require them to adapt in their way of life, when they look for the means of subsistence in the river and the forest. It sought to typify income maintenance (revenue). Through the interview form approach.

They are able to self-sustain by remaining in the community during seasonal events, adapting their activities according to the conditions of the period. It is concluded that during the flood period there was a positive result of 32.50% in gross revenue compared to other times of the year, which represents a good result for the activities carried out in family productions, which, combined with the benefits received from the State, allows better living conditions for the community.
