A literatura indígena como recurso didático no ensino não indígena

Abstract

The present study analyzes the theoretical bases that support the relevance of indigenous literature, aiming to demonstrate its potential as a didactic resource for the teaching of the history of these ethnic groups, to this end, a bibliographical research was carried out, the analysis of some chapters of two textbooks of the 9th grade of elementary school, Historiar of the authors Gilberto Cotrim and Jaime Rodrigues, and the book Teláres of the authors Cláudio Vicentino and José Bruno Vicentino. And finally, to demonstrate the educational role of indigenous literatures in basic education, the analysis of the indigenous book "Before the world did not exist" of the authors, Luiz Gomes Lana and Firmiano Arantes Lana, who tells about the mythology of the Desana Hehípõrã people. Before the analysis was built a didactic sequence for a class of the 9th grade of elementary school, making use of the textbook and the indigenous book. It is believed that a class planned in this way will enable a greater understanding of themes such as myth, culture, violence, ways of being, doing and thinking, the rights of indigenous peoples over the years.
