Circuits for indigenous work: possibilities and challenges for Kaingang students and professionals in the management of public policies

Abstract

The work of indigenous professionals graduated by Brazilian public universities is a recent phenomenon being the State of Parana pioneering in the implementation of such actions since 2002. This work is a result of researches conducted to reflect on the trajectories of indigenous graduated students and the emergence of Kaingang professionals in the creation of new working circuits focused on the management of social policies. These trajectories reveal the dual belonging of these subjects and the assumption of contradictions shrouded in this process.
