La temática indígena en la enseñanza de la historia: recursos para profesores

Abstract

Even though the History of Education has demonstrated the denial and the social exclusion of indigenous people, the history books ́ contents and ideas have kept prejudicial and ethnocentric representations in a silent way. Considering this, this paper aims at proposing some didactic suggestions related to the indigenous people from the state of Goiás, Brazil. In addition, it also presents some possibilities of activities to be developed with primary school students so that social awareness as well as regional identitycan be built according to the Brazilian National Curriculum Parameters. As a sub-theme, there are some suggestions of resources regarding either indigenous people from Goiás, from other states of Brazil and countries that can be used by teachers in class. Furthermore, it is also important not to lose sight of the need of the notion of time,identity and historical awareness that guides the teacher ́s practice in class once the past happenings should provide identity to students from their individual and collective experiences.
