Abstract

In this paper we study the transmission and acquisition processes of knowledge of the Social Process Training for Indigenous Women, to thus be able to think curricular proposals for the in Araçá da Serra community school, Raposa Serra do Sol. This is a qualitative research through ethnography describes and analyzes the knowledge associated with cassava planting and processing flour and “caxiri”. Thus, deepened the understanding of the knowledge of indigenous women and the social mechanisms of transmission thereof, or of indigenous education in the perspective of women. From the activities carried out by women and using intercultural inductive method, we propose feasible educational activities to be developed in the indigenous school, to think proposals based on community reality and activities that children know. In the study of knowledge also appeared several conflicts due to the school levy, churches and other institutions and situations that have led to changes within families and the community. Finally this work invited us to reflect on the relationship between indigenous education and indigenous education and the current challenges of Araçá da Serra community, that lives renewal processes and cultural change, which is not without conflict.
