Indigenous re-existence in the Brazilian context of re-democratization: perspectives for educational intercultural cooperation

17/02/2023 11:41

The democratic “Unity and Reconstruction” project of the newly elected government in Brazil (2023-2026) implemented, among other strategic actions, the creation of the Ministry of Indigenous Peoples (MPI). This institution grants political status to the struggles of resistance and re-existence of the original and traditional peoples of the multi-ethnic Brazilian nation.

Let’s start our conversation with the initial contact with the Articulação dos Povos Indígenas do Brasil (Articulation of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil, APIB), whose leaders took over the leadership of the state’s indigenist institutions now.

In this meeting, we will seek to share and discuss our educational and research projects, in order to envision possible articulation strategies between us in the perspective to reestablish our ways of life, education and production according to ancestral principles of “Well Living”. This is key theme of the ancestral cosmovisions of the original peoples, which can be summarized in its principles of relationality, complementarity, reciprocity and integrality.
