A construção da escola indígena Kaiowá no Tekoha Panambizinho em contexto de retomada territorial

Abstract

This research aims to present the historical process of the Panambizinho Indigenous Land, addressing the trajectory of schooling and the transformation of the Pa’i Chiquito Pedro Indigenous School. It is important to highlight that the demarcation of the Panambizinho Indigenous Land took place in 2004. During the land reclamation process, a classroom had already existed since at least the early 1980s, operating under the Panambi Lagoa Rica FUNAI Indigenous Post. Later, an extension classroom of the Tengatuí Marangatu Municipal Indigenous School was established in this space. After the demarcation of the Indigenous Land, there was a significant increase in the presence of Indigenous teachers working at the school; however, in recent years, the number of students has decreased. Thus, it is evident that there has been a continuous process of construction and transformation of this school environment. Nevertheless, a crucial question arises: how does this school fit into the debate on specific and differentiated Indigenous schooling? In this context, the research seeks to use the school’s official documentation to present how this institution, seemingly already consolidated, has begun to deal with the decline in the number of students.
