Descripción
Sumario:The author discusses pajelança as an ancestral educational practice that goes beyond the simple transmission of information, incorporating spiritual, ecological, and community aspects. This practice aligns with the assumptions of decolonial pedagogy, as it challenges the logic of colonial thinking that often excludes Indigenous worldviews. The article also highlights the challenges posed by the marginalization of Indigenous peoples, especially in the Brazilian educational context, which often ignores or mischaracterizes the contributions of these peoples to the formation of sustainable knowledge.
