Interculturality:

notes from a study with Apinajé scholars

Abstract

This article presents a doctoral research clipping that was developed in the Postgraduate Program in Letters: Language and Literature, and was sourceed the intercultural relations of Apinajé academic indigenous indigenous peoples of the Federal University of Northern Tocantins (UFNT). I took as objective of the research to investigate the perceptions of the students about their intercultural relations in the Degree in Field Education (LEDOC): Arts and Music Qualification. Theoretical and methodological assumptions have been based on their life stories with music, which allows to bring to the center the experiences, senses and meanings that the subjects attribute to a certain fact experienced, with methodology the oral history. The results point out that the dialogue between indigenous and non -indigenous people exists, but is still weakened, relationships remain conflicted. It is necessary an improvement for a greater exchange of experiences, because what we realize is that interculturality, for indigenous people, is not seen as a problem, are always willing to exchange knowledge, both academics and villages, because they are aware which is the way for decolonization and transformation, having a fairer society.
