Abstract

This article is one of the results of a doctoral research whose objective was to understand the relationship of the Terena indigenous people from Aldeia Lagoinha, in the Municipality of Aquidauana, Mato Grosso do Sul, with nature and how their knowledge and socio-environmental memories can contribute to Environmental Education Brazilian. We sought to value indigenous knowledge without homogenizing traditions or essentializing them, giving them a purity that does not exist. Data were produced by the oral history method. The interviews were recorded, transcribed and interpreted in the light of post-critical theory. Western culture, starting with modernity, has transformed nature into a commodity, generating socio-environmental problems, the object of analysis in Environmental Education, as well as the resolution of these problems. Traditional communities observed and understood the biodiversity with which they lived and through this developed sustainable practices and techniques for survival in the use of the environments in which they lived and live. This knowledge is the result of translations for survival that influenced their culture and environment, and can be used in formative processes in Environmental Education in all regions of the country, since the original peoples are present in Brazilian society as holders of valuable traditional knowledge.
