Description
Résumé:This article reflects on the relationship between Indigenous knowledge and scientific collections from the perspective of a collaborative research experience between the Goeldi Museum (Belém, Brazil), Leiden University and the Ka’apor Indigenous people who live in the Alto Turiaçu Indigenous Land – Maranhão (Brazil). We start with a visit to the Goeldi Museum’s scientific collections in September 2022, as part of the BRASILIAE research project, which prompted memory exercises and reflections on Ka’apor knowledge. We will also reflect on the Ka’apor’s own ways of creating and transmitting knowledge, encouraging the participation of women in reflecting on Indigenous knowledge and their role in creating and transmitting knowledge.
