Abstract

Differentiated learning experiences among indigenous peoples and family farmers in the Southeastern Territory of Pará State were analyzed in relation to their demands for more suitable education policies – an education that takes under consideration their realities and values their traditional knowledge, being, at the same time, a political tool for the construction and maintenance of these social beings. The increasing availability of technical courses and university programs that meet the demand of these peoples and traditional communities is one of the focuses on this analysis, since it’s a result of the actions of indigenous and rural social movements, adopting an ethnodevelopment perspective. Direct and participant observation, interviews with traditional and political leaderships of family farmers and indigenous people as well as with directors of organizations and institutions involved in this process, were means of collecting the necessary data to this analysis. The study concluded that the role played by indigenous and rural movements was essential to the process.
