Abstract

ABSTRACT. This text aims to present a reflection about interculturality in the pedagogical proposal of the Francisca Oliveira Lemos Juruna Municipal School of Indigenous and Basic Education, located in the Boa Vista village, in the municipality of Vitória do Xingu/PA. Ethnographic research techniques were used, including participant observation and photographic records. It is discussed how the identity of these Juruna has been constructed from their relation with the school, considering, from the propositions of Hall (2005), that the postmodern subject is fragmented no longer in one but in multiple identities. Interculturality is presented as a proposal for the construction of an egalitarian society, the light of respect for differences. It was found that despite the school's difficulties in mitigating the imbalance in the contact relationship, given the hegemony of the dominant culture, children are playing a major role in affirming indigenous identity.
