Descrição
This article aims to explore Indigenous Literature based on the project entitled Spell of Indigenous Literature and Art, which took place at the Jorge Iaparrá State Indigenous School, Uaçá Indigenous Land. The project, designed and carried out by indigenous teachers and researchers, sought not just to transmit academic content, but to think about knowledge that transcends the physical limits of the classroom. However, moving away from the practical nature of the project, in this article we seek to list theoretical concepts that are relevant to indigenous literature. By incorporating these philosophical approaches into the project's practice, indigenous literature becomes more than just a topic of study, it becomes a living source of knowledge that resonates with the daily experiences of the students, the school and the village. This approach seeks to go beyond research within the walls of the university and contribute to the formation of aware and culturally sensitive citizens.||Este artículo pretende explorar la Literatura Indígena a partir del proyecto Encantos da Literatura e Arte Indígena, que tuvo lugar en la Escuela Estatal Indígena Jorge Iaparrá, en el Territorio Indígena Uaçá. El proyecto, diseñado y llevado a cabo por profesores e investigadores indígenas, buscaba no sólo transmitir contenidos académicos, sino pensar en un conocimiento que trascendiera los límites físicos del aula. Sin embargo, alejándonos de la naturaleza práctica del proyecto, en este artículo buscamos enumerar conceptos teóricos relevantes para la literatura indígena. Al incorporar estos enfoques filosóficos en la práctica del proyecto, la literatura indígena se convierte en algo más que un tema de estudio, se convierte en una fuente viva de conocimiento que resuena con las experiencias cotidianas de los estudiantes, la escuela y el pueblo. Este enfoque pretende ir más allá de la investigación dentro de los muros de la universidad y contribuir a la formación de ciudadanos conscientes y culturalmente sensibles.||O presente artigo visa a explorar a Literatura Indígena a partir do projeto intitulado Encantos da Literatura e Arte Indígena, que ocorreu na Escola Indígena Estadual Jorge Iaparrá, na Terra Indígena Uaçá, em Oiapoque. O projeto, elaborado e executado por professores e pesquisadores indígenas, buscou não apenas transmitir um conteúdo acadêmico, mas pensar o conhecimento que transcende o chão da sala de aula. Neste artigo, para além de apresentar o caráter prático do projeto, buscamos trazer conceitos teóricos relevantes para a literatura indígena. Ao associar a teoria à prática, a literatura indígena torna-se mais que um tópico de estudo, ela transforma-se em uma fonte viva de conhecimento que ressoa nas vivências cotidianas dos alunos, da escola e da aldeia. Nossa pesquisa busca, desse modo, contribuir para a formação de cidadãos conscientes e culturalmente sensíveis.

The spell of indigenous literature: knowledge beyond the classroom
ABSTRACT: This article aims to explore Indigenous Literature based on the project entitled Spell of Indigenous Literature and Art, which took place at the Jorge Iaparrá State Indigenous School, at Uaçá Indigenous Land, in Oiapoque. The project, designed and carried out by indigenous teachers and researchers, sought not just to transmit academic content, but to think about knowledge that transcends the physical limits of the classroom. In this article, as well as presenting the practical nature of the project, we try to bring up theoretical concepts that are relevant to indigenous literature. By associating theory with practice, indigenous literature becomes more than a topic of study, it becomes a living source of knowledge that resonates with the daily experiences of the students, the school and the community. Our research thus seeks to contribute to the formation of aware and culturally sensitive citizens.
