Full textThe thesis details a set of extra-ordinary teachings proffered by Lynn Andrews, purportedly of native origin. Attention is given both to the techniques used to teach and to the exceptional knowledge imparted. In Part I, I speak of the distinct culture of learning which I come from, and reply to detractors of cross-cultural teaching. I outline the general purposes which I believe these teachings can serve in any culture, and most particularly in the global culture of life on earth. Part II is a detailed exposition of the teachings in the first two books by Lynn Andrews. Part III addresses some of the challenges confronting those who wish to take her teachings to heart and pass them on to others. This section makes it clear that such teachings are not appropriate for everyone, and are not to be instituted in a systemic context.

Resumo: O presente trabalho acompanha a trajetória histórica de Atalaia, um aldeamento composto por índios Kaingang que teve sua concepção no governo da Capitania de São Paulo durante o processo de colonização dos Campos de Guarapuava na primeira metade do século XIX. Registros eclesiásticos, listas nominativas e relatos de Francisco das Chagas Lima, principal pároco que permaneceu no aldeamento por dezoito anos, documentam como a Igreja estabeleceu classificações hierárquicas, através das quais buscou enquadrar os índios num sistema de subordinação. Em contrapartida, também foram percebidas formas de representações indígenas nas quais uma suposta aceitação dos rituais cristãos é analisada segundo a ótica de uma política e cosmologia própria dos Kaingang, onde os diversos conflitos e alianças que permearam a história desse grupo foram visualizados de acordo com uma visão dualista de mundo e em função de um alto faccionalismo hierárquico. A dialética do encontro em situação de aldeamento promoveu a elaboração e construção de novas relações sociais e a representação indígena não foi explicitada unicamente pelos conflitos contra o colonizador mas, sobretudo, por meio de negociações e adaptações de diferenciadas formas de convívio determinados pelos atores indígenas e coloniais
Abstract: This thesis examines the historical development of Atalaia, a village occupied by Kaingang Indians, which was established in the early nineteenth century by the colonial government of the Captaincy of São Paulo as part of its colonization plan for the Campos de Guarapuava region. Based on ecclesiastical records, census lists, and the writings of Francisco das Chagas Lima, a priest who remained in the village for 18 years, the thesis shows how the church developed a hierarchical classification scheme, subjecting the Indians to a system of subordination. At the same time, the work reveals indigenous forms of representation, analyzing the apparent acceptance of Christian rituals from the perspective of Kaingang politics and cosmology, where the conflicts and alliances that permeated this group¿s history followed a dualistic world view and the logic of a hierarchical factionalism. The dialectics of the encounter within the space of the village promoted the elaboration and construction of new social relations, since indigenous agency was expressed not only through conflicts with colonial interests, but also through the negotiation and adaptation of various forms of coexistence determined both by indigenous as well and colonial actors
