O Papel dos jogos Indígenas em Porto Seguro na reafirmação da cultura Pataxó da Aldeia Velha

Abstract

The present work addresses aspects of the Pataxó indigenous culture, through indigenous games from the year 2000 onwards. Until then, these games did not have the format of games and modalities with rules. With the participation of the Pataxó of Coroa Vermelha in the National Indigenous Games, there were several influences on the community and, later, the schools addressed these traditional games that at various times are intertwined between the religious and the spiritual. The experiences of these participations brought a reflection, promoting interculturality and giving new meaning to the oral games practiced in the beginning by the Pataxó of Coroa Vermelha. This came to influence the other communities. This influence is given with emphasis on the communities of the municipality of Porto Seguro, from the cultural reaffirmation meetings (2005) promoted by the Municipal Department of Education, through the Coordination of Indigenous School Education, which later transformed into the Pataxó Indigenous Games
