O povo indígena Payayá na luta por uma educação diferenciada

Abstract

This text approaches the research theme: the struggle for differentiated education of the Payayá indigenous people. It deals with the experiences of a village located in Chapada Diamantina/Ba and its expectations regarding the education in force in the country in relation to the native peoples. The preliminary results of the research show a greater contingent in the basic education of indigenous people, covering partially or in a limited way the education of young people and adults in basic education. The highlighted issue concerns the recognition of indigenous rights in relation to differentiated school education and traditional education, respecting their culture and environmental preservation. The research methodology is exploratory and descriptive, using primary data and bibliographic references that constitute the theoretical foundation of this work. In the study, it was necessary to contextualize their advances and the various relationships with existing and experienced knowledge in the Territory in relation to current legislation. The fight for specific and differentiated education continues as a claim in the actions and resistance movements established in recent years.
