Thinking kaingang indigenous children through ethnography pathways

Abstract

The composition of this article seeks to get close to some elements present in the methodological field of ethnography, in order to dialogue and discuss the challenges of research with indigenous children. The researcher-children approach in the field of research and the production of ethnographic writing stand out as the possibility of deconstructing “truths” that constitute thinking as children and indigenous childhoods. The trajectory of the ethnographer in field and her relationship with the indigenous children in the ethnographic research is constituted by paths, readings that demarcate their choices. In an ethical relation of looking at oneself and to the “other”, the strangeness that mark the crossing between the research and the multireferentiality of views that put us in the field, the writing appears interlace in the ethnography by the incompleteness, depth, complexity or itself and from the field that means.
