Abstract

LIMA, Pablo Luiz de Oliveira  and  CARIE, Nayara Silva de. Narrativas Maxakali: possibilidades para o ensino de cultura e história indígena. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2013, vol.29, n.03, pp.41-62. ISSN 0102-4698.

The Maxakali people faced colonization and have resisted to present days, with the strength of their cultural habits. Indigenous narratives are rich sources for the teaching of history as long as they are worked adequately, while respecting cultural alterity and the different systems of values, beliefs and social organizations of indigenous peoples. It is proposed a dialogue between indigenous narratives and theories on historical narratives. The presence of indigenous narratives in the teaching of History is related with changes that occurred in the teaching of this subject since the 1980s, with the institution of constitutional indigenous rights, new curricular parameters and a legislation that obligates the teaching of indigenous history and culture in the Brazilian basic education (Federal Law no. 11645/08). The use of indigenous narratives in the teaching of history can lead students to a better understanding about indigenous cultures, as well as to a broader perception of their own culture.

Keywords : Narratives; Maxakali; History Teaching; Indigenous History.
