This article presents the results obtained during the application of a didactic experience that inserted topics of Brazilian Indigenous Astronomy (AIB) in High School Physics classes. The research work had as theoretical support the concepts of Ethnoastronomy and references inspired in dialogical pedagogy of Paulo Freire in order to study the night sky with the look toward to different indigenous cultures. The proposal presented was developed in a private school in Taguatinga, Federal District, Brazil, being carried out through lectures and practices directed to 1st year of High School.
