Histórias, lutas e resistências pela educação escolar indígena

um olhar sobre a escola Tekahayne do povo Shanenawa

Abstract

This paper is about the histories, the processes of struggle and the resistance that the Shanenawa people went through to have the right to indigenous education in their territory and, more particularly, to a school in the Morada Nova Village of the Katukina/Kaxinawa Indigenous Land in the Feijó City/Acre. Through methodological procedures of qualitative-based research with interview techniques, the general objective of this article was developed, which is to analyze the traits referring to the stories, struggles and forms of resistance for the development of indigenous education in the Shanenawa context until the emergence of the Tekahayne school. Some results of the basic research of this work show that awareness about indigenous education in Shanenawa territory occurred through the valorization of cultural knowledge produced by the indigenous elders of the people who, through new generations, built new understandings about what education and , in this sense, produced knowledge in the Shanenawa context that was fundamental for the development of the Tekahayne school in the Morada Nova village in the aforementioned Indigenous Land.
