EDUCAÇÃO ESCOLAR INDÍGENA: um olhar a partir de Freire, LDB e Estatuto dos Povos Indígenas

The indigenous condition in Brazil is currently complicated. Having their constitutional guarantees violated, the existence of these peoples has suffered serious damage. The situation becomes more complex when looking at Indigenous School Education, whose existence is guaranteed by the Federal Constitution and Law 9.394/96. This work aims to analyze and discuss the pertinent bibliographic review in order to expand the production of knowledge on the subject. It is a bibliographic and analytical research that justifies it as there is a constant need to update the discussions on this topic, because it is pertinent given the real conditions in which indigenous people live in Brazil. Our results indicate that it is the duty of the State to guarantee and provide adequate means for the formation and promotion of indigenous school education, without however sharing conflicts of interest that put in check the survival of indigenous peoples' ways of being. We conclude that indigenous school education can be provided by the State through the training of teachers and educators from the indigenous communities themselves, who, knowing their reality and that of their people, can help in transforming the reality of their people. Keywords: rights; state; schooling; indigenous people.
