Os indígenas nos livros didáticos de história: uma análise sobre as representações presentes nos livros didáticos do Novo Ensino Médio

Abstract

This course conclusion work aims to problematize the representations of indigenous peoples present in textbooks, considering that for many centuries, representations of indigenous peoples were filled with views full of stereotypes, stigmas and romanticizations, not taking diversity into account. and the cultural plurality of these peoples. Textbooks are important tools for the teaching-learning process in Brazilian schools and they are often students' first contact with the social and cultural diversity that exists in the world. They contain speeches and images that are agents of knowledge capable of inducing and stimulating learning in the student and thus stimulating critical sense. It is important that these textbooks are able to encompass the cultural diversity that surrounds those who use them, promoting inclusive and recognizing discourses about the diverse contributions of indigenous peoples in the construction of Brazilian society, thus distancing themselves from a homogeneous, stereotypical, romanticized and full of stigmas that have been crystallizing for centuries on indigenous peoples and their cultures.
