Autonomia e escola entre os tremembé de Almofala-CE

Abstract

This article analyses the problematic of self determination of the Tremembé people, within an historical perspective of their relations with the State and the national society which have been implanted since colonization, and the role, nowadays, of the diferenciated Indian school in the strengthening, (re)elaboration, and search for more autonomous relations for the Tremembé. Taking Institutional Analysis as one of the theoretical referencials, the author gives relevance to its itinerary of approaching and constructing the problematic, starting the text with an account and analysis of what he calls stages of natural approach, political-religious approach, aesthetic approach, empirical approach and, finally, epistemological approach.
