Abstract

The article analyzes the importance of indigenous sciences as a political axis of the territorial struggle, autonomy and paths for epistemological recovery. We propose to bring together a series of productions by indigenous academic intellectuals from 2009 to 2021 that express the protagonism and modes of engagement of production with the political struggle in defense of original territorial rights and for greater symmetry between indigenous epistemes/sciences and academic scientists. We focus on dissertations and theses by Kaiowá and Guarani researchers in Mato Grosso do Sul, sowing a dialogue under an anti-colonial approach with the political axes of the knowledge of these authors, learning to reorient our perspectives and to place them in a standing position horizontality the sciences of the peoples and the non-indigenous sciences.

KEYWORDS: Autonomies. Indigenous Sciences. Guarani. Kaiowa. Territorial Struggles.
