Indigenous School Education; Balatiponé Cultural Practices; Jula Paré School.
This work aims to analyze and document the cultural practices developed at the Jula Paré Full-Time School, located in the Umutina Indigenous Territory in Barra do Bugres-MT, Brazil. The research is based on the appreciation of the traditional knowledge of the Balatiponé people, considering that the indigenous school is not only a space for formal education, but also a territory for affirming identity, cultural resistance, and strengthening collective memory. Through observations, interviews, photographic records, videos, drawings, and written productions, the study seeks to document the various cultural practices that are part of daily school life, such as traditional dance, crafts, the preparation of typical foods, and the oral traditions of the elders. The proposal adopts a qualitative and participatory approach, in which students, teachers, and community members act as active subjects in the process of knowledge construction. By systematizing these practices, the study contributes to the appreciation of differentiated indigenous school education and to the preservation of the material and immaterial heritage of the Balatiponé people, reaffirming the school as a space for dialogue between cultures, indigenous protagonism, and the construction of its own pedagogy.
