Nhembo’e – Educação escolar nas aldeias Guarani
Abstract
O texto descreve processos e práticas de escolarização em duas aldeias Guarani do Rio Grande do Sul: Tekoá Anhetenguá (Porto Alegre) e Tekoá Jataí’ty (Viamão), locais em que a escola é requisitada como possibilidade de aprender leitura, escrita e português, ou o “sistema dos brancos”, como dizem, referindo-se ao que precisam aprender para realizar um diálogo mais equilibrado com as sociedades não indígenas. Mesmo conhecedores das leis que possibilitam a escola diferenciada na aldeia, os Guarani agem com cuidado e buscam um modo próprio para o fazer escolar, evidenciando as marcas de sua cosmologia. Assim como a palavra Nhembo’e refere escola e as práticas decorrentes dela, Nhembo’e, na língua Guarani, significa pronunciar as palavras sagradas da tradição e deixar-se instruir por elas.
Descritores – Educação indígena; educação escolar indígena; escolas Guarani.
ABSTRACT
In this text, I describe schooling processes and practices in two Guarani villages in Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil): Tekoá Anhetenguá and Tekoá Jataí’ty, places in which the school is requested as a possibility to learn writing, reading and Portuguese language, or the “white people system”, as they sometimes call it, referring to what they need to learn in order to perform a more equitable dialogue with non-indigenous societies.Even knowing the laws that allow a differentiated school in the village, the Guarani act carefully and look for their own way making the school, showing the impression of their cosmology on it.The word Nhembo’e refers to the school and the practices arisen in it, as well as Nhembo’e, in the Guarani language, means to pronounce the sacred words of tradition and to let oneself be instructed by them.
Key words – Indigenous education; indigenous school education; Guarani schools.
