LAROQUE, Luís Fernando da Silva  e  SILVA, Juciane Beatriz Sehn da. Ambiente e cultura Kaingang: saúde e educação na pauta das lutas e conquistas dos Kaingang de uma terra indígena. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2013, vol.29, n.02, pp.253-275. ISSN 0102-4698.

In this paper, we aimed to discuss questions related to Kaingang health and education in the Indigenous Land ‘Linha Glória’ located in the municipality of Estrela, Taquari valley. The Kaingang speak the so called ‘Jê’ language. Nowadays, they are one of the most populous indigenous groups in southern Brazil, occupying territories situated in western São Paulo, center-north and western Paraná, western Santa Catarina and center-north Rio Grande do Sul states. Thus, we sought to comprehend the ways these populations experience and relate culturally with health and education in their everyday lives. We intend, especially, to show that this indigenous group has been an active player of its own history, being ahead of several struggles related to health and education, and that the Federal Constitution of 1988 guarantees, in the specific terms of law, that both are conducted differently, respecting the culture and uniqueness of indigenous populations.

Palavras-chave : Kaingang; Indigenous Land ‘Linha Glória’; Health and Education; Taquari Valley.
