PEIXOTO, Leonardo Ferreira. LEARNING WITH THE AMAZON. Revista Teias [online]. 2020, vol.21, n.61, pp.150-167.  Epub June 08, 2020. ISSN 1982-0305.  https://doi.org/10.12957/teias.2020.49706.

This article is forged in the midst of (auto)biographical narratives of formation in the Amazon context, relativizing the North-South perspectives in / from Brazil, based on the epistemologies of the South of Boaventura de Sousa Santos. The use of the gerund of the verb to learn in the title is purposeful, since it marks the trajectory of a teacher who recognizes himself in a continuous and constant process of formation and transformation. The text starts from the geographical change, where the author migrates from the Southeast region of Brazil to the North region, specifically from the state of Rio de Janeiro (RJ) to the state of Amazonas (AM), highlighting some learnings that result from this change. The narratives are mainly focused on politicalepistemological transformations based on learning from the indigenous peoples of the Alto Solimões (AM) region, on the triple Amazonian border between Brazil, Colombia and Peru. The article concludes with a reflection on how non-indigenous people can learn to be parente.

Keywords : epistemologies of the South; Amazon; indigenous education.
