Education and cultural heritage Pataxó: the Casa de Memória da Reserva da Jaqueira - extreme south of Bahia
Memory house; cultural affirmation; indigenous school education.
In the twenty-one years of the Pataxó da Jaqueira Reserve, the Pataxó community has been affirming its culture and developing autonomous work strategies, including in the educational sphere, in order to multiply and strengthen the knowledge of the Pataxó people. One of these strategies was the creation of the Community Indigenous Museum, inaugurated on April 26, 2019. The Jaqueira Reserve museum has been dialoguing with ancestral and contemporary Pataxó indigenous art in a context of education, that is, together with the indigenous school. Working on the memory of the people is going back in history and appropriating its production and uses, having as its consequences the leading role in the construction of museums, memory spaces and documentation centers in our territories, in addition to effectively contributing to the strengthening of knowledge, cosmologies and ethnic identity. This dissertation will discuss the issues related to the educational legacy of the indigenous museum of the Pataxó community of Reserva da Jaqueira, a space that assumes a relevant role in the struggle of the Pataxó people and their resistance, in addition to constituting a powerful place of cultural affirmation and demand for an education differentiated indigenous school.
