This essay touches on the topic of education and the specificities of the indigenous people and field education in the state of Mato Grosso. The reflections presented come from observations made from experiences and activities developed together with the Laboratory of Studies and Research of Diversity in the Legal Amazon (LEAL) of the State University of Mato Grosso (Unemat), Juara campus. Interaction was sought with popular education due to the intrinsic link that these specific teaching signals and which, furthermore, form the contexts of their appearance and development. Relevant points of these discussions are the resistance of communities that dare to do something different to that set out in education policy but which is traditional due to the fact that they have always had their education with or without schools.Both indigenous school education and rural education present enormous challenges; however, their existence does not fail to be the victories of the long struggles of these peoples and populations.

Keywords : Education; Field Dducation; Indigenous school education.
