BARCELOS, Valdo Hermes de Lima  and  MADERS, Sandra. Educação escolar indígena e inclusão: por uma pedagogia do cuidado e da escuta. R. Bras. Est. Pedag. [online]. 2012, vol.93, n.233, pp.34-50. ISSN 2176-6681.

A way for us to start a text about indigenous education in Brazil is remembering that when the Portuguese navigators came here in the 1500s, this territory was inhabited by about a thousand of different peoples. After about 500 years, there were no more than 200. Still, the majority of brazilians don’t know that there are about 180 different spoken languages. This text is the result of a set of researches about the situation of indigenous education and has, as one of its goals, to make explicit the some of the Humberto Maturana’s epistemological proposals for the edification of education within the indigenous communities, proposals that will promote their social and cultural inclusion. Our researches have shown that, in order for the indigenous education to take place in an inclusive way, one have to pay attention to emotions such as care, listening and the welcoming of differences within the school space for an intercultural perspective of dialog.

Keywords : Indigenous Education; Humberto Maturana; Education and Inclusion.
