A ressignificação do dia 19 de abril: uma análise da abordagem e (des)construções de narrativas do “dia dos povos indígenas” por docentes de história e pedagogos em duas escolas estaduais no município de Parintins, Amazonas.

Abstract

This paper reflects on activities carried out within the scope of the PIBID History program with high school history teachers and pedagogues in two state schools located in the municipality of Parintins, Amazonas. We begin with a problematization of "Indigenous Peoples' Day," April 19th, and the unfolding of its gradual revision, including its nomenclature, based on Law No. 14,402 of July 8, 2022. This process aims to denaturalize pejorative and prejudiced terms, as well as stereotypes, and points towards the recognition and appreciation of the identity, culture, and history of indigenous peoples, promoting respect for the sociocultural diversity of our country. In more detail, we seek to analyze the representations and narratives presented in the classroom about/on April 19th, highlighting the current conceptual changes regarding the theme, understanding the importance of an inclusive and reparative approach, demonstrating the recognition that Brazilian society has of its indigenous history.
