The right to free, prior, and informed consultation is guaranteed to quilombola communities by ILO Convention No. 169 and Decree No. 6,040/2007. Based on this, and using a qualitative approach, based on a bibliographic review and document analysis of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA/RIMA), the Quilombola Consultation Protocol, and the Public Civil Action filed by the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office, this article analyzes the consultation process of urban quilombolas in the Pérola do Maicá neighborhood in Santarém, Pará, regarding the implementation of a port terminal on Lake Maicá. The findings revealed violations of the right to consultation, which were later overturned in court. This highlights the need to guarantee the effective participation of affected communities, recognizing their ties to the territory, and ensuring respect for their collective rights.
