The issue quilombola today is not something simple and already resolved by the legal provisions; it is permeated by conflicts and struggles for constitutional rights. In this sense, in order to guarantee the rights of demarcation and titling of their lands, the communities have resorted to their origins as a way to ensure the preservation, not only of their culture, but also of the territory. But, for that, the policy of demarcation and titling of quilombolas lands requires that the community recognize itself as a remaining of quilombo and preserves the culture of its ancestors. In this process of cultural and patrimonial preservation, youth would have a very important role, because it is it that will continue, or not, the culture and territory. Thus, this study aimed to examine how rural young from quilombola territories, in the city of Piranga, Minas Gerais state, behave before the legal requirements. The methodology used consisted of bibliographic and documentary analysis, apart from field work in which were used data collection techniques as participant observation and thematic interview. We noted that the young recognize themselves as remaining of quilombo and that they preserve the culture of their ancestors, especially in the religious sphere. This dissertation is just one of many ways of thinking about youth, not as a problem, but as a potential of local development that, unfortunately, nowadays remains anonymous and with a very limited field of possibilities.
