This work investigated the knowledge about house constructions in an indigenous community, called Araçá, in the northern region of Brazil. It analyzed the cultural valorization, the environmental and sustainable conditions of the community and the teaching and learning processes in the indigenous school. It verified the importance of the collective work in the construction of the houses, called ajurí, which is fundamental for the characterization and organizational formation, for joint efforts among the residents of the community. It researched the knowledge in indigenous architecture through ethnomathematics, in the form of houses and roofs, metric systems of floor plans and structures. The research aimed to recognize, together with students and teachers, the traditional knowledge involved in the construction of houses and the use of this knowledge in teaching and learning in indigenous school education. Basic theoretical references were D’Ambrosio (2011) on the ethnomathematics program and Ausubel (2003) on meaningful learning. The methodology used was field research, with participant observation, construction of house mockup, interviews, use of images and videos. It was verified that this knowledge is part of the culture of the people.
