RESSURREICAO, Sueli Barros da  and  SAMPAIO, Sonia Maria Rocha. Young indians (native brazilians) in brazilian universities: some historical and intercultural aspects. Rev. Bras. Hist. Educ [online]. 2015, vol.15, n.3, pp.109-139. ISSN 2238-0094.  https://doi.org/10.4025/rbhe.v15i3.631.

This paper aims to discuss some historical and intercultural features regarding the access of young Indians (Native Brazilians) to higher education in Brazil. A brief historical overview of the presence of indigenous individuals, their ethnic belonging and their fight for citizenship in the country, is presented with a focus on education. Studies analyzing the condition of Indian students in college institutions are reviewed and the current struggle of such students to remain in the public university is pointed out. Such struggle prompts the discussion about both the social and formative role of that institution and the need for the systematization of policies aimed at meeting the demands of those new students from an intercultural perspective.

Keywords : Native Brazilians; College Education; Affirmative Action; Intercultural Education.
