African and Indigenous Brazil
Colonial Interruption and the Return of Living Traditions to the Center
Brazil’s cultural story lives in the knowledge of its Indigenous peoples and African descendant communities. Through quilombola resistance, capoeira, samba de roda, and sacred traditions, students explore how communities sustained identity despite colonial disruption.
From the histories of Guarani, Tikúna, and Yanomami peoples to Valongo and the living traditions of quilombola communities, this inquiry examines struggles over land, labor, language, and cultural authority. Students use evidence to explain why these mores and folkways must remain at the center of education, guided by the communities that carry them forward.
