Povos indígenas e as relações culturais, econômicas e políticas: reflexões sobre a interculturalidade crítica e a decolonialidade

Abstract

This article aims to problematize and compare interpretations and reports aimed at critical interculturality, decoloniality and ecology of knowledge, which articulate cultural, epistemic, material and symbolic elements linked to the role of cultural and economic changes of Brazilian indigenous peoples, of different ethnic groups, in view of the various segments of national society. We made use of anthropological views, of a hermeneutic approach, using decolonial pedagogy as a political and methodological option, our own reflections, establishing meaningful debates to identify ideas and postures (also political) about the impositions of the West before the indigenous peoples. The proposal established here aims to bring together issues related to the political and commercial systems of the various indigenous communities and the epistemological clashes that constitute these scenarios, as well as to analyze, around interculturality, the historical changes caused by the various segments of the national society.
