A importância da cestaria guarani mbya do Rio da Lebre Tapixi

Abstract

This research’s main purpose consists of demonstrating the Mbya Guarani’s lifestyle, and what is taking native young Mbya Guarani to stop handcrafting nowadays, especially when it comes to the Guarani Mbya basketry. Why are the traditions not being carried over by parents and children? Thus, I aim to understand this issue in the Rio da Lebre village. Another of my intentions is to present the importance of basketry to the Guarani Mbya, and why it is a Mbya way of identification that has lost its appreciation over time. I also want to make it all explicit through writing, since it will contribute to didactic material production in the Guarani village’s school. The research methodology is qualitative, that consists of a case study, literature review and semi structured interviews with six Guarani native people who produce crafts, besides visits to some houses in the village. The conclusion highlights that basketry (varai para’i) has been losing its importance because the mbya who live in the community do not know what constitute their cultural identity anymore, and handcrafters are not teaching their art to their children, which is a millenary culture and is not being preserved. In brief, there is a need for Guarani handcraft workshops at school as a way of resistance of this millenary culture.
