Ikpeng People. Indigenous School Education. Literacy. Language Teaching
This research deals with home education and the teaching process itself at the Ikpeng Central Indigenous State School. This indigenous school is the result of intense demands by the Ikpeng people for recognition, legitimization and accreditation by the state. Carried out with the communities of the Arayó and Moygu villages, in the Xingu Indigenous Land, in the municipality of Feliz Natal, in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil, this investigation, with a qualitative approach, has as its main objective to characterize Ikpeng education. The resulting pedagogical product is literacy material in the mother tongue, which should be used in Ikpeng schools, with the aim of strengthening the identity and culture of these people.
