THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CULTURE AND MOTHER TONGUE IN THE SCHOOL CONTEXT AND WITHIN THE COMMUNITY.
Macaw of the Rio Branco. Resistance. Culture, language revitalization.
This research aimed to value the culture and teaching of the mother tongue, strengthening stories, knowledge of nature, animals, plants, and objects, and revitalizing the mother tongue in the classroom and in the daily life of the Arara people of the Rio Branco. Interviews were conducted with the elders of the community, and a discussion circle was held with everyone in the community. We carried out pedagogical activities with the story of the giant macaw and workshops on canoeing, rowing, hammock making, and traditional house construction. The research was conducted in the Volta Grande village, in the municipality of Aripuanã, Arara do Rio Branco Indigenous Land. As we conducted the workshops, we also listened to and learned some words in the mother tongue, and for others, we conducted bibliographic research to understand how the word was spoken and written in the Arara people's language. This research is part of a cultural resistance of my people.
