Abstract

This research seeks to identify and analyze social representations about indigenous students in the school environment. The school scenario, in addition to the search for the saber, is also a space for the symbolic construction of the other. This, the objective of this study is to identify a social representation of the indigenous student in public schools in the city, in view of the devices used to (re) produce and perceive their image in the school context.
