On March 14, a collective of historians, professors, military personnel, and hikers will undertake a 24-kilometer trek in União, Brazil, retracing the route taken by Portuguese troops led by João José da Cunha Fidié after the Battle of Jenipapo, a significant conflict in Brazil's struggle for independence. The event commemorates the historic march made on March 13, 1823, which followed the armed confrontation at Campo Maior, highlighting the importance of this location in Brazil's fight for sovereignty.

The trek will commence at Jenipapeiro, starting from the point known as Riacho do Comandante and concluding at the city center of União, formerly known as Estanhado. This symbolic journey through the rural areas of José de Freitas and União serves not only as a tribute to the events of the past but also as an educational opportunity to engage the community with their historical legacy and ensure that the significance of the independence movement is not forgotten.

Historian Danilo Reis has emphasized the event's role in valorizing Brazil's historical heritage and promoting research related to the Independence of Brazil. This initiative aims to foster a deeper appreciation for local history among residents, making them aware of their cultural roots and the struggles that shaped their nation. This event stands as a reminder of the ongoing journey towards understanding and recognizing the historical context, reflecting on both past and present Brazilian identity.
