Indigenous questions

a journey through indigenous history as a domain.

Abstract

The present work proposes to make a discussion about Indigenous History as a domain of History that has relevance to the historiographical and theoretical-methodological discussions and the key concepts of the field from questions that involve the meaning of being indigenous, their cosmologies and the interethnic contact. It will also address the misconceptions about the indigenous theme, advances in research in the area and the active involvement of native peoples in the construction of a scientific narrative that privileges their ethnic particularities. By establishing this debate, we will realize the great advances that the area has achieved and the claim of the indigenous themselves regarding scientific production.
