A resistência indígena por meio do ingresso em universidades públicas do Amazonas

Abstract

In this study, we discuss higher education aimed at indigenous students who entered public universities in the state of Amazonas, particularly in the municipality of Parintins, in HEIs, UEA and UFAM. With the aim of understanding whether the entry of students into these institutions can be considered a mode of resistance indigenous. To structure the work, we used the bibliographic research in order to understand the intercultural and pluriethnic question that arises in the face of education indigenous as a form of resistance and empowerment. We support the approach qualitative, using the thematic Oral History as a technique for collecting information, applied to three indigenous collaborators/students from the respective universities, being the three belonging to the Sateré-Mawé ethnic group. The results show a slow look at the sensitivity to the issue of cultural differences, in particular for the indigenous people who want an intercultural and pluriethnic education.
