INDIGENOUS LITERATURE: BETWEEN MEMORIES

ABSTRACT:

This text shows Brazilian indigenous writers and their journey to become effective as content producers. The research took place through a bibliographic and audiovisual review on indigenous social, political and cultural movements, especially with articles and texts written by these people. This academic path was fundamental in tracing a history of the communities associating the way of guaranteeing rights to the development of indigenous literature. When bringing the voices of indigenous people to confirm the facts, the article demonstrates that such literature can be developed collectively or personally, and regardless of that, it always refers to every people, to every ancestry. This research is also justified as oral memory writings where they describe their experiences between Indians and white man, searching for knowledge and recognition.
