Coloniality and decolonization in latin-american education: the case of indigenous intercultural degrees with the Kaingang People. Eccos Rev. Cient. [online]. 2018, n.45, pp.59-78.

The paper presents a practical experience of implementation of intercultural education and decolonial practice in the training of indigenous teachers of the Kaingang people in the context of the Indigenous Intercultural Bachelor of the Universidade Comunitária da Região de Chapecó - Unochapecó. We start with the diagnosis of Adriana Puiggrós who argues that the colonial character of education in Latin America is an overlapping historical fact and a situation that must be reversed. We use the pedagogical guidelines of Paulo Freire re-read from the intercultural perspective to implement a liberating education in the Kaingang teacher training and within that framework we expose the experience of addressing fundamental problems for the indigenous population like the territorial disputes and the vision of the non-indigenous society over the native americans communities.
