Abstract

PALADINO, Mariana. The complex webs of indigenous education in Brazil: discourses on interculturality and indigenous appropriations of schooling. Relac. Estud. hist. soc. [online]. 2015, vol.36, n.141, pp.47-73. ISSN 2448-7554.

This article presents a discussion on interculturality in indigenous education in Brazil and analyzes, using three ethnographic examples, the complexity of the representations and practices of indigenous peoples in relation to the school institution. The aim is to question official discourses and indigenist policies that continue to govern through an essentialized vision of these peoples, instead of respecting, and attending to, their differentiated demands and realities.

Keywords : indigenous peoples; Brazil; indigenist policies; discourses of interculturality; indigenous appropriations of schooling.
