INDIGENOUS LITERATURES AND THEIR POTENTIAL TO MULTIPLY WORLDS

Abstract

This article is the result of a theoretical and practical research project aimed at conducting reflections and pedagogical actions that developed strategies for the implementation of Law No. 11.645/08, which mandates the inclusion of indigenous knowledge in school curricula. To this end, we found in indigenous literatures (Munduruku; Jekupé; Ticuna; Mbyá; another others) a potential that allows for deepening various perspectives that form indigenous epistemologies and their multiple humanities, so that they can be more socially respected. Thus, the goal of presenting these results is also to raise awareness for a transformation in individuals and the way we live, conditioned by the processes of coloniality, fostering the recognition of the origins and roots that form the country. In this way, through new educational and formative strategies, we propose different analyses, based on texts by indigenous authors, that address relationships with the environment; orality; indigenous writings; ancestries; among other topics. Thus, moving towards the construction of a more multicultural society that values and respects the indigenous presences and existences in this territory called Brazil.
