SUMMARY:

Understanding the ethnic and cultural identities of Brazilian indigenous peoples is intrinsically linked to historical and local conditions, and the imposition of different modes and processes of colonization resulted in the deconstruction of these identities, giving rise to the emergence of a hegemonic Eurocentric perspective. This process takes on specific contours in Latin America, where identity formation stemmed from a historical trajectory marked by colonial violence, with the destruction and subjugation of indigenous societies and cultures by Europeans. This colonial matrix persists in contemporary times through a logic of coloniality of power and knowledge perpetuated by European knowledge and norms present in school curricula, through an anti-dialogical and oppressive pedagogy. In this context, the trajectory of the Potiguara Ibirapi indigenous community in the municipality of Ceará-Mirim-RN constitutes a concrete example of how these colonial processes erased the identity and territorial constitution of the original peoples, and has ancestral Tupi origins with a recorded presence in the region for millennia. Therefore, this work seeks to defend the importance of valuing the history, worldview, and identities of indigenous peoples in 6th-grade science classes at a public school in the Ceará Mirim region. The central objective is to construct, implement, and evaluate a sequence of activities that seek to promote the appreciation of the ethnic and cultural identity of Brazilian indigenous peoples through dialogue between traditional knowledge and practices and the curricular content.
