Abstract

This paper aims to discuss some historical and intercultural
features regarding the access of young Indians (Native
Brazilians) to higher education in Brazil. A brief historical
overview of the presence of indigenous individuals, their ethnic
belonging and their fight for citizenship in the country, is
presented with a focus on education. Studies analyzing the
condition of Indian students in college institutions are reviewed
and the current struggle of such students to remain in the public
university is pointed out. Such struggle prompts the discussion
about both the social and formative role of that institution and
the need for the systematization of policies aimed at meeting the
demands of those new students from an intercultural perspective.
