This paper analyzes processes of appropriation of numeracy practices that are configured in the development and management of social projects of Xakriabá indigenous people. Adopting an ethnographic perspective allows us to recognize these processes as instances of “indigenization of projects”, a term taken from studies of the anthropologist Marshall Sahlins which refer to the “indigenization of modernity” to explain the way in which indigenous peoples “have been culturally elaborating everything that has been inflicted on them”. Numeracy practices convey different rationalities that permeate the projects, and it is in the confrontation between cartesian and tatic rationalities that the movement of the subjects to “ indigenize” t hose practices is identified.Downloads
