This ethnographic study presented here about the “Menino do Rancho”, “Mesa de Cura”, “Corrida do Imbu”, Penitência and “Pagamento de Prato” rituals from the native society Pankararu, presents a high cultural, social, religious and political value. A field research was conducted to the understanding of representations and relations between “Encantados” and humans, who establish contracts through exchanges. This study intends to collaborate on the understanding of the complex ritualistic culture of people who established in the past, social relationship with other native people in order to keep alive their traditions; they lost their mother tongue, but kept their customs. The Pankararu people have their first village at “Brejo dos Padres”, in Jatobá town, in the state of Pernambuco, in the region of São Francisco river. The “Encantados” have the power of healing and aggregating in the social life the members of this society. The Pankararu rituals are gradually incorporating the urban values and the Roman Catholic Church
