This cut is intended to present theoretical reflections on the relationship between the conceptions of science, traditional knowledge and pedagogical practices of indigenous peoples to pass on their knowledge, in this case, the knowledge of the people Omágua/Kambeba. This discussion starts during an observetion of the teaching and learning process in science education, considering the vision of construction and complexity of knowledge and the scientific spirit within the ethnic context. The choice of this theme was toresearch from educational action in public schools, seeking to highlight the ethnic diversity in the Amazon region, deepening thus the construction of indigenous knowledge about the universe and their own learning processes theoretically. This experience was strengthened with studies in the Master of Education program in Science Teaching in the Amazon - University of Amazonas, UEA, by which realized the need for coordination between the discussion on the concepts of science, scientism, knowledge/indigenous traditional knowledge.
