Kaingang stories, kofa ag (“the elder”), sociocosmology.Abstract
The present work addresses the issue of indigenous education and analyses the signification of the sociocosmology present in the Kaingang’s ethereal culture, transmitted by the kofa ag (“the elder”) through stories, regarding their view of the world and of life. This research, developed in the Xapecó Indigenous Land, is of qualitative nature, according to the perspective of autoethnography. The study allows to infer that the Kaingang people reproduce and rebuild, through their stories, the fundamental concepts of social, moral and religious organization, safeguarding principles and values that are permeated through metaphors based on their intense relation with nature and the spiritual matter.Downloads
