SUMMARY:

The present research aims to strengthen the importance of the continuous use of indigenous education (mother tongue) among indigenous people and, especially, among children and young people. Specifically, however, she sought to highlight the protagonism of indigenous women. It is worth noting that the mother tongue is a symbol of the memories that contain the struggles, habits and experiences. In view of this, the teaching of the mother tongue involves the social, economic and political aspects of the Kaxarari people, since the invasive period of the Peruvians, caucheiros and Brazilian rubber tappers during the twentieth century, which resulted in the death of two thousand Kaxarari. The viral epidemics to which they were not immune interfered with the subsistence and culture of this people. For this purpose, the research sought to understand how there was a weakening of the Pano mother tongue in the Barrinha village and what were the factors that contributed to the strengthening of the mother tongue in the Marmelinho village, both belonging to the same territory. The research was carried out in the years 2023, 2024 and 2025 with the Kaxarari people, in two villages — Barrinha and Marmelinho — in the Kaxarari Indigenous Territory, located in the states of Amazonas and Rondonia, near the municipality of Labrea/AM and the District of Extrema/RO, about 400 km from the capital Porto Velho-RO, in the northern region of the country. Currently, this territory is composed of nine villages: Pedreira, Marmelinho, Barrinha, Txakuby, Paxiuba, Nova, Central, Buritis and Kawapu, and has a population of approximately 647 people. The dissertation continued from the reports and records about the Kaxarari people, focusing on the analysis of the object of study: the Kaxarari women as interlocutors of the knowledge of the mother tongue for children and young people in a territory marked by internal and external pressures. We sought to understand and reflect on the concepts and prejudices experienced by this people, which are characterized as forms of resistance in the face of the denial of rights. Faced with this problem, it is necessary to remember the imposition of the Portuguese language due to the colonization process, by the invaders, in the Barrinha village — where only 3% of the population speaks the mother tongue of the Pano linguistic trunk — and also the contribution of the marriage union of indigenous people with non-indigenous people in this process of linguistic loss. The school within the village uses the relationship between indigenous education and indigenous school education, the latter of which should, in its proposal, contribute to not negatively interfering in the preservation of the mother tongue. Therefore, in understanding the Marmelinho village, we sought to understand the tools used by the Kaxarari population — which has 98% of speakers of the Pano mother tongue, in a population composed of approximately 113 people. The main references of this research were the reports obtained by the missionaries, the Socioenvironmental Institute (ISA, 2009), the elders, the women, the leaders, the teachers and the fieldwork of other researchers. Our time frame covers the year 1910, when the Kaxarari had their first contacts, and extends to the present day. The methodology was based on reports obtained through interviews with elders, leaders, women, young people, as well as dissertations and fieldwork. Based on the phenomenological method, it seeks to evidence the experience and history of the subject himself, who narrates his trajectory of struggle. In a qualitative and quantitative approach, the geographic categories of Territory and Landscape were used, which support the territoriality and the concepts addressed. However, the teaching of the Pano mother tongue is the only way to strengthen the origin of this people, ensuring the strengthening of the culture with regard to the memory lived by their ancestors.
