Mitos e lendas Terena

Abstract

Indigenous Knowledge in Schools is an initiative that seeks to promote the continuing education of teachers in indigenous school education, especially those working in the early years of basic education in indigenous schools; to offer didactic and pedagogical resources that meet the specificities of community organization, multilingualism, and interculturality that underpin educational projects in indigenous communities; to provide support for the development of curricula, definition of methodologies, and evaluation processes that meet the specificities of literacy, numeracy, and knowledge processes of indigenous peoples; and to foster research that results in the development of didactic and supplementary materials in various languages, bilingual and monolingual, according to the sociolinguistic situation and in accordance with the specificities of indigenous school education.The book "Terena Legends and Myths" brings together a series of stories recounted by the families of the literacy teachers themselves and by the community in general. The literacy teachers took on the role of listeners and recorded the accounts. These various stories, told orally from generation to generation, resulted in this book, suitable for the final years of elementary school. The book is quite up-to-date and aligned with the National Common Curriculum Base (BNCC), and is interdisciplinary, allowing it to be used in the four major areas of education. The book contains twenty-three stories, including legends and myths popular in the Ipegue village community.
