The present study is part of the research carried out with Tembé indigenous teachers in the upper Rio Guamá indigenous land. In this article we analyze what the Tembé professors say about the school education of their people and the implications in the future of the village. To do so, we applied the social representations theory (SRT) from Moscovici. The data collection instrument was the narrative interview and the selection of the subjects followed the previously defined criteria. The treatment and analysis of the data followed the references of the TRS, thus, we seek to the grouping of the data by the units of senses and the elaboration of corresponding themes. Among the results we highlight that the social representations of Tembé teachers about the school education of their people are objected and anchored to a large extent in a in a non-indigenous school curriculum. In this way, the future is threatened, mainly, by the mother tongue and traditional indigenous rites.

Keywords : Indigenous school education; Identity; Social representations; Future.
