O processo de institucionalização da educação na terra indígena do Ribeirão Silveira-Bertioga/SP

Abstract

This research developed an incursion to analyze the historical process of institutionalization of education in the Indigenous Land (TI) of Ribeirão Silveira, traditionally occupied by indigenous ancestral peoples (POA), in whose circumscription live, predominantly, Guarani Mby and Guarany (Nhandeva). This incursion aimed to identify elements that allowed a temporal, specific and circumstantial delimitation, whose selection and analysis provided data on how education was managed and made possible in this territory, circumscribed between the municipalities of São Sebastião/SP, Bertioga/SP and Salesópolis/SP . From this rescue, through the methodological ways of the historiography of education, thematic oral history and transcreation (MEIHY, José Carlos Sebe Bom, 2005, 2007, 2014) we sought to constitute a corpus of documentary archeology of the paths taken for this institutionalization, as well as the subjects who were and are part of it, asserting the school as a strategic strengthening space for actions to protect the IT. In this course, Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui (1987) was decisive for the analyzes to show the epistemological dimension, as a producer of political-ideological resistance, of the adopted method. With Antônio Torres Montenegro (2010) we understand the insurgent historiography from the positivist perspective that produces the history of the “winners”, leading us to privilege and understand the speech and history, especially of ordinary men and women in the production of their marks in time. The construction of the sapé school in the old village of Ribeirão Silveira, the organization Aguaí, the first volunteer Guarani teacher at the José Duda sapé school make up the set of results obtained by the research presented here. We infer, finally, the confirmation of the thesis that the school plays an important role in the process of strengthening and resistance of the mbya kuery on the processes of real estate speculation and other means of invasion of the TI of Ribeirão Silveira.
