This study aims to discuss the importance of differential experiences at the indig-enous reality and at backlands of Ceará, deepening of reflections about the role of education in the critical positioning of subjects. In addition, aims to question about the participation of children and youth at building an educational environ-ment with emphasis on indigenous and rural context.

The subjects should be considered engaged in the search for the transformation of society. Education in indigenous and rural context as a place of expression and visibility, of critical positioning, civic education and political empowerment to society.
