Abstract

This research aimed to identify and analyze the space that occupies indigenous issues in teaching history in the face of changes and / or stays caused by Law 11,645 / 2008 institution. Such writing was produced in order to raise and broaden the discussion of the silenced and marginalized history of indigenous peoples of Brazil. The research presents a qualitative approach to documentary character, which we use as the main document analysis texts and images contained in the textbook collections History Society & Citizenship and History of the Third Millennium Caves approved by PNLD 2008 and 2011 and intended for Primary Education II (6 th to 9 th year). Given that textbooks are important tools in the consolidation and spread of representations. The analysis of the sources allowed us to discuss about the privileged approaches and despised in the history of Brazil present in textbooks, as well as see that the representation of indigenous peoples in textbooks of history yet has undergone positive changes, but it is necessary that the results advances in academic research and historiography can reach the readership of textbooks.
