• Abstract:

  This article proposes an analysis of the inclusion of indigenous history in primary school/early years school curricula, focusing on compliance with Law number: 11,645/2008, since it established the mandatory teaching of indigenous history and culture in basic education. The article problematizes the context of application of Law 11,645/2008 before and after the approval of the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC) in 2017, exploring aspects of the prescriptive dimension of these documents, as guiding and normative guides for curricula across the country. To achieve this objective, both documents were examined as documentary sources, allowing a reflection on long-term educational policy proposals for Brazil. The article also highlights how the field of knowledge of Indigenous History can significantly contribute to this debate.
