História indígena para o ensino médio

Abstract

Despite the suggestion of the National Curriculum Standards in relation to cultural diversity as a cross-cutting issue, and the Federal Law n.11.465 (10 March 2008) requiring the teaching of indigenous peoples in shaping the national society, these issues are still some worked in schools and in academic circles. Even in disciplines with reportedly more directly related to these topics, such as history, for example, Brazilian indigenous peoples are poorly studied and even tied to the colonial period. We currently have several tribes that occupy urban spaces and are not recognized by society as "real Indians". Many of them occupy the school benches, hiding their descent shame of other colleagues who ignore the complexity of social formation of the localities in which they live, considering the Indians as "other". This paper presents an educational proposal of indigenous history, through the heritage and memory approach, applied to high school students from two schools (EEEM Capão Novo, RS and EEE.M. Açorianos, Viamão, RS), over the years 2014 and 2015, based on thematic workshops to articulate Integration Seminars. The workshops provided the thematic study as indigenous peoples, cultural diversity, social education and heritage education.
