Summary/Abstract: The comparison between the ecological knowledge of the Kaingáng, Guarani, and Xokleng indigenous populations of Southern Brazil, the historical process of species dissemination, and the scientific knowledge may allow the incorporation of recommendations for the sustainability of forest handling, as well as bringing the indigenous knowledge to scientific practices in order to collaboratively handle natural resources. This paper displays a research of the Southern Brazil indigenous environmental history, regarding the use of Vegetable Genetic Resources, landscape, and soil.
