A luta pelos direitos dos povos indígenas Pitaguary, Kanindé de Aratuba e Kanindé de Canindé

Abstract

The present work shows a little of the history of the struggle for the rights of the Pitaguary, Kanindé de Aratuba and Kanindé de Canindé indigenous peoples and the history of the indigenous school education of these peoples and the great importance of valuing and using traditional medicine still used by these peoples , as well as the healing done by rezadeiras (they pray with the use of branches) and healers (healing through spiritual faith) inside the village. In this context, there is an affirmation of the ethnic identity of each of these peoples, providing access to important knowledge for citizenship, as highlighted by the history of each of these peoples. Indigenous peoples must have self-determination to manage and strengthen their culture and their own history, as they fight in their villages for recognition and demarcation of their lands, specific and differentiated indigenous intercultural education and healing through traditional medicine. There were many difficulties encountered by these indigenous peoples for the conquest and the right to live in their lands and to be strengthened through a differentiated indigenous and quality education.
