Educação escolar indígena no Oiapoque/AP: práticas pedagógicas em escola do povo Karipuna
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2025-02-24) SANTOS, Karina dos; SANTOS , Júlia Otero dos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8964630349505642
This study presents an approach to the policies and practices of school education among the Karipuna people in the Indigenous territories located in the municipality of Oiapoque-AP. The emphasis is on highlighting the role of the Karipuna Indigenous people in organizing educational policies and projects from the school as a tool of domination and assimilation to the school as a space for cultural empowerment and an integral part of the community’s educational system and life plan both within and beyond the territory. It includes a brief overview of the historical introduction of school education among the Karipuna, their collective struggles and advocacy for new meanings and transformations in schooling to better serve the people’s lives, with focus on major demands, challenges, and contradictions in implementing what is guaranteed by specific Indigenous education legislation. Initially a colonial tool for erasing ancestral cultures, the school has now also become a space for affirming and valuing the people's cultural and linguistic diversity. One of the objectives was to examine the policies, actions, and schooling models currently being practiced in Indigenous schools. The study explored some pedagogical practices by Karipuna teachers, observing how Indigenous knowledge and practices engage in dialogue with formal education, as well as how differentiated and intercultural processes contribute to building school curricula grounded in the community’s reality, experiences, and way of life.

“Melhores mestres...”: saberes indígenas e ciência colonial no vale Amazônico (século XVIII)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-09-05) SANTOS, Rafael Rogério Nascimento dos; COELHO, Mauro Cezar; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7187368960757936
This thesis analyzes the roles that the indigenous peoples of the Amazon Valley played in the circulation/construction of knowledge during the second half of 18th century, considering them as subjects who were actively involved in this process, as historical protagonists. From the perspective of Indigenous History and the History of Science, and through documentation, I demonstrate that their knowledge was part of the constitution of the natural sciences under construction in that period, and how, to a considerable extent, their knowledge was appropriated by the modern science under construction at the time. The thesis states that the construction of knowledge, as well as its circulation, relied essentially on local sources and practices, and, as I try to show and analyze, on indigenous practices, techniques and knowledge. I present and analyze sources that make it possible to insert the indigenous peoples of the Amazon Valley into the history of Western scientific knowledge.
