Abstract

ABSTRACT: Assuming that the identity is not “given at the birth” (Hall, 2006) but daily and continuously built (Bauman, 2005), we will seek to carry out a retrospective about the Guarani indigenous community culture in the village of Pinhalzinho - Tomazina, Parana, and the school contributions to the process of maintenance and / or recovery of their culture and memory of these people. For this, we will address the identity transformations that this people have suffered over time and as they currently do or do not maintain their traditions that define or redefine the meaning of being a native (Maher, 1996) in today's society, considering the importance of indigenous education school (Cavalcanti, Maher, 2005) to implement affirmative action policies of this community against the dominant society. This work is part of a wider study, still in the initial phase, which uses the ethnographic qualitative research, which focus is to understand the identity construction process at Guarani Village of Pinhalzinho, Tomazina – PR, a community that has been virtually supplanted by the dominant culture, through the investigation of the language or languages  used in the community. As theoretical basis we will utilize Mota (1994, 2006), Veiga (2006, 2007), Woodward (2009), Perez (2010), among others. We intend with this work enable the Guarani voices to be present in society in a way that at least soften the exclusion process which this minority group is victim of.
