Educação escolar e educações indígenas: reflexões epistêmicas

Abstract

In this text I present some reflections to think about epistemic bases for a  school education linked to indigenous peoples. I reiterate that it is necessary to build a perspective based on plurality and multiculturalism, focusing on the linguistic and cultural specificities of each indigenous people. From this base, where the knowledge of the ontological regimes, of the Amerindian philosophies and knowledge, is valued, we can then envisage interculturality (understood as the field resulting from the interaction between a people with non-indigenous peoples and other indigenous peoples). And so we can think of indigenous education, since we value the local specificity of each indigenous people. On this basis, we can finally reflect on school education policies directed at indigenous peoples
