Preserving Indigenous Culture as a Practice in School Education

This book is aimed at the Catu community. It is home to the only indigenous school in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, which preserves its cultural traditions in the school space, and keeps its ancestral culture alive in the need to affirm its presence in the present, with the school as an instrument for this. Based on the observation of their teaching and learning processes, knowing that the educational environment is a field where there is greater cultural diversity, I realise that the model of education is one of the focuses of this work, in the sense that it is concerned with issues related to cultural diversity and how they are being worked on by educators. These questions encourage future work in relation to the Catu community: Preservation of indigenous culture as a practice of school education, in this sense indigenous school education has to grow, a subject of great relevance to the academic community, its teachers and students in the humanities and, of course, to the existing indigenous communities in their preservation and educational maintenance.
