- Abstract
These notes deal with the production of a textbook for literacy and support for reading and writing practices in the Xikrín language, which currently takes place in schools in the villages of the Xikrín do Cateté Indigenous Territory, located in the city of Parauapebas, southeastern Pará, Brazil. We aim describing the process of preparing the book and its content. We show that the making of this material can be used to promote the status of the Xikrín do Cateté language in the school domain, in which Portuguese took to itself the supremacy as the language of instruction, displacing the indigenous language from the school domain. This is the first textbook produced in the Xikrín language, therefore, more than its role in the teaching of the native language in the village schools, it is an important record of the language, made with the participation of Xikrín teachers, and which will integrate the collection of texts in Xikrín language.
