“O Brasil foi descoberto pelos portugueses": uma declaração reducionista dos povos indígenas nos livros escolares

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to propose a bibliographic nature reflection allocated for image of indigenous culture in school books. The objective was to verify the anachronistic images of Indian, inherited a kind of traditional historiography, which advocates the superiority of the colonizer. Since clarify this view of history is a dream of different people who want to reach this ideal whole society. Therefore deny history and the past of indigenous peoples, it is to disfigure the present and omitting important parts of the history of Brazil. By analyzing the representation of indigenous peoples in the textbook approved by newer PNDL and treatment that Indians receive on school books, it shows that the history of Brazil brings a big gap in relation to these people. We still have the need to launch a different look compared to indigenous issues in textbooks that still bring the Indian of the past: living naked in the woods, which uses archery and walks full of pity for the body
