A Transforming Family

The occurrence referred to in the environmental document

Iberian wolf

The environmental assessment of the PDM marks a pack in the territory, based on information from the ICNF. It is a reference to the ecological importance of Cabeceiras, not a promise of sighting. Knowing this presence does not require looking for animals or disseminating shelter sites. The national platform relates the scarcity of wild prey to livestock consumption and conflict with pastoral communities. It points to the protection of herds and the recovery of natural prey as complementary parts of conservation. A pack is also a changing family. The platform describes a breeding couple, descendants of different years and sometimes other related adults. The group defends a territory, but its composition changes with births, growth and dispersion. In the general cycle presented for Portugal, the cubs are born in late April or in May. During the summer, meeting places become centers of family activity; in the autumn, young people begin to accompany adults on trips and hunting. It is not an observation calendar for a concrete pack. Growing up, some youths leave the group of origin to search for territory, partner or other pack. Others stay longer when there is enough food. Therefore, a count at a time does not describe an immutable family: social life follows the annual cycle and landscape opportunities.

Vamos experimentar?

  1. Draws a family group with adults and pups from the description.
  2. Add arrows to represent growth and output of young people from the group.
  3. Compare two moments of the drawing: what would change in a countdown?

General biology scheme; it does not represent the number of wolves in a local pack.

Gondiães e Vilar de Cunhas · memory and landscape

A house with three granaries

In Casa de Chouzas, three 19th-century granaries join the solarengo building highlighted by the Municipality. The set approximates two functions: inhabit and guard the harvest. Instead of looking only at the main house, it is also worth recognizing the importance of agricultural support constructions. The presentation of Vilar de Cunhas places this heritage in a plateau and mountain landscape, marked by agriculture and pastoral care. The house and the granaries can be read in this work context, without the source detailing the production of each property. The dating of the house is less firm: the municipality presents it as perhaps 19th century, while assigning the granaries to the 19th century. This difference must remain visible. The photo accompanying the reading shows the portal; it does not show the three granaries. The asset reference does not confirm access to the set.

Vamos experimentar?

  1. Look at the photo of the portal and list only the elements you can see.
  2. Compared to the three granaries mentioned in the text: what depends on the written description?
  3. Imagine a caption that distinguishes the frame of the photograph from the remaining patrimonial set.

PROPOSTA 3 DE 3 · Viajar no tempo

Two dates, two places

Documented history · 1514

Two outcasts, seven days

D. Manuel I granted the foral of Cabeceiras in 5 October 1514 and that of Vadym, today Abadim, in 12 October. Seven days separate the documents: the administrative history of the territory goes through more than one place. But what was the point of seeing the outsiders again? The Tombo Tower exhibition explains the general context: there were complaints about outdated charges, coins and weights and old texts difficult to interpret. The Manueline reform sought to review these documents. The local dates of 1514 belong to this broader movement; they do not mean that the settlements began to exist that year. The work also required registration and preservation. The same exhibition describes the elaboration in triplicate: one copy for the chamber, one for the landlord of the rights and one for the Tower of the Tombo. This general explanation helps to understand why an administrative document could have several copies. It does not identify here the whereabouts of each copy of the two local forals. On 5 October 2024, Casa do Tempo received a tertulia over the 510 years of the foral, with José Viriato Chapel and Porphyrio Correia. The municipal news recalls both documents and their importance for administrative organisation. The celebration is a gateway to history; it does not replace reading the forals themselves.

Vamos experimentar?

  1. Draw a line for October 1514 and mark the days 5 and 12.
  2. Associate Cabeceiras and Vadym with each date. Add the current name of Vadym.
  3. Open a story of Abadim and distinguish the date of the document from the dates that the source assigns to the heritage.
