This study aims to present and analyze the contributions of the Afro-Brazilian and Indigenous Studies Group (GEABI) for the teacher education in Ethnic-racial Relations in Transxingu (Altamira) and in Tocantins (Cametá) - PA, under Law No. 10,639 / 2003, seeking to identify the theoretical and methodological approaches adopted, as well as the repercussions of this training on teachers' pedagogical practice. The methodology used was documentary research with a qualitative approach. The sources consulted were the Pedagogical Project of the Pedagogy course, the Specialization course in Diversity and Society Education and the Master's Course in Education and Culture - PPGEDUC; the PROINT / GEABI project; folder of the events carried out, work plan and training report. Regarding the results, we conclude that GEABI, over the years, has been the driving force for pedagogical changes to the inclusion of black students in school, by educating teachers to deal with ethnic-racial relations issues. In this sense, we affirm that the effects of these actions impacted, in large part, the initial and continuing teacher education policies, contributing to changes in the Transxingu (Altamira) and lower Tocantins (Cametá) scenario, which has been marked by conflicts in relation to teacher education. These conflicts are divided into two movements: (a) that attributes to the formative space the function of education future teachers in the competences understood as central in a globalized world; (b) and those who understand such space as a discursive field with potential of acting in the construction of critical teaching identities, committed to the valorization of cultural plurality.

Keywords : GEABI; Ethnic-racial; Teacher training.
