PAVAN, Ruth;  e  BACKES, José Licínio. The construction of an intercultural dialogue with indigenous by non-conventional-action research. Acta Scientiarum. Education [online]. 2014, vol.36, n.01, pp.165-175. ISSN 2178-5201.

Current article is the product of the experience of the authors who have lived for more than eight years with indigenous students enrolled in undergraduate and post-graduate stricto sensu courses, as well as of the results of research on Brazilian indigenous peoples done by the authors. Methodology comprises action research, an important method of dialogue, exchange and de-colonial knowledge production. Contrary to what the authors have supposedly taught indigenous students, current paper presents lessons that the authors are learning and which constitutes them as educators / researchers. These lessons comprise a) the production and strengthening of the identity stance against economic inequality; b) questioning of theories and the construction of new significances; c) the resistance by the ethical indigenous community against the advance of neoliberal individualistic society. Living and conducting research with indigenous people teaches the paths towards de-colonialization and intercultural pedagogy and epistemology.
