PERRELLI, Maria Aparecida de Souza. “Conhecimento tradicional” e currículo multicultural: notas com base em uma experiência com estudantes indígenas Kaiowá/Guarani. Ciência educ. [online]. 2008, vol.14, n.03, pp.381-396. ISSN 1516-7313.

This article is positioned in the field of cultural studies that includes the school curriculum as a place of disputed legitimacy for the expression of the knowledge of different cultures. Based on this theory, and committed to the empowerment of indigenous Kaiowá/Guarani people, this work aims to understand the specific knowledge of traditional societies and raise issues that are relevant to research and the place of such knowledge in the school curriculum. The data were obtained from bibliographical research and through testimonials from students on the Course for Indigenous Kaiowá/Guarani Teachers of the Mato Grosso do Sul. This text provides a brief overview of indigenous people and their struggle for a schooling that is specific and intercultural. Also, it features traditional knowledge (forms of acquisition, distribution and transmission) and refers to discussions which sustain a school curriculum open to the knowledge of cultures which are historically silenced.

Keywords : Traditional Knowledge; Indigenous Knowledge; Multiculturalism; Kaiowá/Guarani.
