EDUCAÇÃO INDIGENISTA E POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS: O NÚCLEO INSIKIRAN DE FORMAÇÃO SUPERIOR INDIGENA EM RORAIMA

Abstract

The present work analyses the process of constitution of Insikiran Nucleus and the Intercultural Undergraduate course created by this Nucleus, as part of the government policies settled in Brazil, since the promulgation of the Federal Constitution in 1988. It aims to apprehend in which way the principles of interculturalism, specifics, differentness and bilingualism, which are references for the most important legislations and Indian school education policies, have been developed in the Intercultural Undergraduate course created by Insikiran. The Indian College Degree in Roraima offered by UFRR is promoting the college graduation to Indian population, in order to enable them to teach in the State's Indian schools. It has been also necessary to apprehend which procedures were put into motion by the subjects involved with the Insikiran Nucleus constitution, as well as to analyze the experience developed in UFRR, through the Intercultural Undergraduate course, that points out the possibility of democratization of the access and the incorporation of new forms of knowledge to college education, starting from the demands and articulation with social movements. The idea is to present and discuss, in one hand, how that action legitimates the UFRR, and in the other hand, how the University articulates itself with a wide variety of institutions and social movements, such as the Indian movement, in order to make this experience a solid one, and in which measure this relationship is able to create new spaces and news ways of producing knowledge. Some categories borrowed from social sciences were used as tools to develop this analyze, such as different citizenship, multiculturalism and national minority.
