ABSTRACT

This article describes the teacher Maria Luiza Rodrigues’ trajectory in teaching in the Dourados Indigenous Reserve, with emphasis on this woman’s role as a teacher and on her work with the Kaiowá, Guarani, and Terena ethnic groups, in the period from 1951 to 1961. To develop this description, we mainly used documents from the teacher’s personal archive, such as the booklet Kuatiañe’e moñe’?kuaarã: the paper that speaks, among others.
