This paper presents the results of a didactic intervention, carried out by a physics teacher, involving the concepts of time and space for indigenous students of Mato Grosso do Sul State, in Brazil. It is a qualitative research in an exploratory approach. The analysis' corpus consists of two sets of data: a) a pre-test involving the notion of space and time of the indigenous students and b) an activity on time and space measurement strategies. Data collection was taken during physics classes, with a sample of 13 students, ranging in age from 18 to 29 years. It was observed that measurements of space and time through traditional strategies are still present, although many indigenous people do not value this knowledge. All traditional knowledge that can be brought into thinking at school, along with scientific knowledge, contribute to a broader understanding and rethinking about these meanings for indigenous students.

Palabras clave : Physics teaching; Indigenous education; Indigenous traditional knowledge.
