Narrar os indígenas, urdir seus passados: histórias, historiografias e ensino, de Colombo ao Projeto Araribá

Abstract

The present study seeks to analyze how the approach of the indigenous theme has taken place during different historical moments, from the arrival of the Europeans to the New World. Thus, we study the imperial projections about these peoples and seek to see how, in recent years, the change in the historiographical footprint as well as the social movements were fundamental for the implementation of laws that aim at the best knowledge, in all scopes of Teaching, in Brazil, of Indigenous History. In order to do so, we use travel reports, official documents and, finally, a case study in which the History Teaching is verified in the textbooks of Elementary School major of the 6th to the 9th year, currently taught in the schools of the municipality of Xinguara, through the analysis of the didactic collection Projeto Araribá - História.
