Intercultural experiences in the university: The presence of indigenous people and contributions to Law No. 11.645/08

Abstract

In the expectation of sensitizing our perception of seeing and allowing ourselves to be affected by these “other” epistemic relationships produced, the article aims to present and reflect the contributions that the presence of indigenous academics brings to the disciplines that are supported or crossed by the contents of Law 11.645/08 and that has enabled the experience of decentralization of hegemonic thinking that dominates the academy. Testimonies of indigenous and non-indigenous people highlight the fissures, productions and re-elaborations that have been produced in these areas of academic tension.
