Summary: | This paper intends to analyze the visions of the Guarani Mbya on the school in the indigenous village of Três Palmeiras, Espírito Santo. According to the presupposition that the understanding of the school in the village is due to the comprehension of the Mbya culture. Moreover, the school as an exogenous space to the Guarani culture creates conflicts among two differents worlds: the native and the surrounding society. Those conflicts are marked by the statement of the ethnic identity of the Guarani, through their way of being or nhandereko. The visions of the school are divided according to the variations of the social groups in the indigenous society: the adults and the political leaderships, the teachers, the parents and the community.
Keywords: Guarani Mbya- school education- ethnic identity- indigenous
