Abstract
Mariana's search for freedom, an enslaved “courana” mine that lived in Belém do Grão Pará, in 1738 is analyzed in this article. In the first half of the 18th century, transatlantic trafficking and the African presence in Belém are characterized by historiography as not very expressive, since indigenous populations were massively used as workers, especially until 1750 in Grão Pará. It is in this scenario that Mariana seeks to buy her manumission. The documentation of the Overseas Historical Archive was used to develop the ideas contained in this work. The debate about nation, trafficking, freedom emerges from Mariana's request and is presented here.
