DA COSTA OLIVEIRA, Assis  and  VIEIRA, Driéli. Kaingang children and the institutional and ethnic logics of care in the city of Maringá, Brazil. Runa [online]. 2019, vol.40, n.2, pp.203-220.  Epub Dec 19, 2019. ISSN 1851-9628.  http://dx.doi.org/10.34096/runa.v40i2.6259.

In the present article we aim to analyze the way in which the relationship between indigenous and non-indigenous people, mediated by the “problem of children”, was constituted for the construction of institutional and ethnic logics of care to the situations related to work, education, family conviviality, and, mainly, to the disputes over the meanings of the Kaingang childhood and person in the context of the city of Maringá, in the state of Paraná, Brazil. It is a work that uses the case study method to problematize certain scenes of the history experienced by the Kaingang people, and particularly by the families of Ivaí Indigenous Land, in the seasonal migration and stay in the urban space for the sale of handicrafts, which generated different logics of production of discourses and actions based on the agency of ethnic identity and culture in articulation, or not, with indigenous rights and interculturality.

Keywords : Indigenous children; Kaingang people; Rights of children and adolescents; Indigenous rights; Ivaí Indigenous Land.
