RESUMO:

This work was developed within the Graduate Program in Teaching in Intercultural Indigenous Contexts (PPGECII). It focuses on the traditional knowledge of the Rikbaktsa indigenous people and the possibilities of integrating this knowledge with pedagogical practices in our schools. The project aimed to identify and share traditional knowledge and teaching practices associated with the creation of the wedding necklace—an object belonging to Rikbaktsa material and intangible culture. The research was conducted with tribal elders and benefited from the contributions of teachers at the Myhyinymykyta Skiripi State Indigenous School, located in the Barranco Vermelho Village within the Rikbaktsa Indigenous Territory (municipality of Brasnorte, Mato Grosso). To understand the process of making the wedding necklace (*tutãrã*), elders and teachers were consulted; they described every stage, from material gathering to the necklace's eventual use by the bridesmaids. Using an ethnographic participatory research methodology, observations and interviews were carried out during the collection of materials, as well as the preparation and crafting of the necklace. The elders explained that specific rules govern the gathering, handling, and preparation of the shells required to make the *tutãrã*. Based on these teachings, I realized that replicating the actual crafting process in the classroom was not feasible, given the numerous rules involved—including restrictions preventing children from handling the materials used to make the necklace. Consequently, the initial plan to work with the necklace as a study topic was modified; instead, the approach shifted to utilizing the elders' accounts and creating drawings to allow the children to visualize each stage of the process.
