Indigenous university, amerindian literature and english for indigenous students at UFSCar: some reports

Abstract

I present a report of collaborative and participative research developed in the Departamento de Letras of UFSCar. The research has involved indigenous undergraduate students, once the university has got an Affirmative Action Program and the enrollment of indigenous students inside a differentiated program. This report involves: reflection on the form of indigenous undergraduate students begin and continue their academic studies at UFSCar, when compared to the way it exists in a Canadian university with which we have signed a Memorandum of Understanding; reports on studies of Amerindian Literature and their importance in the empowering process; report on an innovative course of English for indigenous students.
