Abstract

ABSTRACT
This work intends to reflect on the importance of reading as an essential tool in people's
livesin order to acquire subsidies to debate, compare, interpret, know the world around us. We
aim to identify how to work with indigenous literature in the classroom. The methodology
used was a bibliographical research and the literary work of Daniel Munduruku and his book:
Como surgiu: mitos indígenas brasileiros. The work seeks to analyze how indigenous
literature can be inserted in the classroom, in the Portuguese language discipline for students
of the 1st year of high school. Working with the indigenous theme in the classroom is not
easy, it is a broader and more complex issue, therefore, it will be suggested how to approach
the indigenous theme in the school on a daily basis. The study lists alternatives to recognize
the ethnic-racial plurality of our society. Recognizing the value of indigenous literature means
discovering new knowledge and values in the field of Brazilian literature.
Keywords: Interculturality. Reading. Indigenous Literature. Classroom.
