Resumen

This article analyzes the teaching of Indigenous literature within the context of the Intercultural Indigenous Teacher Education program linked to Parfor Equidade, considering its contribution to the education of Indigenous teachers in higher education. The study is grounded in the understanding of Indigenous literature as a cultural, historical, and epistemological expression of Indigenous peoples, articulated with the principles of intercultural education. Methodologically, the research is qualitative in nature, based on bibliographic and documentary analysis of academic productions and legal frameworks that guide Indigenous school education and intercultural teacher education. The results indicate that Indigenous literature plays a structuring role in formative processes, acting as a mediator between traditional knowledge and academic knowledge, while also fostering contextualized and culturally grounded pedagogical practices. It is concluded that the teaching of Indigenous literature within Parfor Equidade has legal and institutional support and contributes to the consolidation of teacher education committed to intercultural dialogue and the recognition of Indigenous sociocultural diversity.
