THE SPELL OF INDIGENOUS LITERATURE

KNOWLEDGE BEYOND THE CLASSROOM

Abstract

This article aims to explore Indigenous Literature based on the project entitled Spell of Indigenous Literature and Art, which took place at the Jorge Iaparrá State Indigenous School, Uaçá Indigenous Land. The project, designed and carried out by indigenous teachers and researchers, sought not just to transmit academic content, but to think about knowledge that transcends the physical limits of the classroom. However, moving away from the practical nature of the project, in this article we seek to list theoretical concepts that are relevant to indigenous literature. By incorporating these philosophical approaches into the project's practice, indigenous literature becomes more than just a topic of study, it becomes a living source of knowledge that resonates with the daily experiences of the students, the school and the village. This approach seeks to go beyond research within the walls of the university and contribute to the formation of aware and culturally sensitive citizens.
