Authors

Abstract

Colégio Isabel was a project that aimed to “civilize” the indigenous children who lived in the Vale do Araguaia region, Goiás Province, to educate national workers and, progressively, incorporate the lands owned by the Indians in the productive process. Colégio Isabel allowed its students a marginal integration in the society, assigning them functions that the so called “civilized” people considered degrading. The egress students lived an ambiguous and marginal life, regarding the original ethnic groups and the adopted society.

Key words: childhood, indigenous matter, indigenous education, professional education.
