The Invisibility Indians In Rio Grande Do Sul, Brazil: An Ethnography Of Roundness Narratives Between Myth, Law and Education

The issue of indigenous invisibility in Rio Grande do Sul is based on a set of elements that permeate the story of the Guarani, and kaingang Plow different ways. Among these stand out narratives produced by non-Indians and have recurring visions and idealized whose elements relating gaucho folklore. One example is the set of representations produced on the Indian missionary Tiaraju Sepe, from the late eighteenth century to the present. Throughout this text we wish to reflect on the interplay between myth, law and education through an analysis of the impact caused by the presence of indigenous students in Higher Education Institutions (made possible by the policies of racial quotas since 2007 UFSM), a context stretched by the relationships established between the invisibility of indigenous narrated in different ways, the plurality of cultural dynamics of the groups mentioned above and individual memories of some Indian students involved in this process forward to the new scenario we consider also invisibilizador Federal Law No. 12,711, 29/08 / 2012 and Decree No. 7,824, of October 11, 2012, governing the policy of social and racial quotas in Brazil.
