Dona Josefa Ferreira Pataxó: memórias da luta e resistência dos povos indígenas do Nordeste

Abstract

We present the "Dona Josefa Ferreira Pataxó: memories of struggle and resistance of indigenous peoples in Northeast Brazil" activity book with the aim of preserving the cultural heritage of indigenous peoples in Brazil. The book contains activities based on post-constructivist theories, which explore the history of Josefa Ferreira Pataxó, a warrior who fought for the demarcation of Barra Velha territory, home to the Pataxó people. This book is intended for use by teachers and students in indigenous schools and is a valuable resource for promoting reflection on the importance of preserving indigenous cultures and traditions. The authors believe that it is crucial to preserve the memories of elders like Dona Josefa to learn from their experiences and continue the struggle for the rights of indigenous peoples.
