A poesia de Márcia Kambeba e sua recepção no contexto escolar

Abstract

ABSTRACT: In the 21st century, the lack of knowledge about indigenous peoples in the classroom remains an inciting for prejudice, lack of respect, and a scarcity of recognition for ancestral cultures. For many people, the image of the indigenous stereotype persists, as portrayed since colonial times. Therefore, it is essential to demystify this image by bringing indigenous culture to schools through literature written by the native people themselves. The aim of this article is to reflect on the work of indigenous poet Márcia Kambeba and to present an experience with some of her poems in the school context. Thus, we propose a path towards complying with Federal Law No. 11.645/2008, which makes teaching the indigenous culture mandatory at schools. This article is grounded in the research of Gomes (2012), Silva (2012), Graúna (2013), Silva (2014), Potiguara (2019), Bergamaschi (2012), among others.
