Voices from the Village: Culture, Youth and Discovery: cultura, juventude e descoberta

Voices from the Village: Culture, Youth and Discovery, by Edirley Viana Vieira, brings together short stories and youth narratives inspired by the daily life of Guarani Kaiowá communities. Between the fire circle and the presence of digital technologies, the book addresses the challenges experienced by Indigenous children and young people in contemporary society, while valuing ancestry, mother tongue, memory and belonging. The stories discuss themes such as cultural identity, reading, social protection, prejudice, sports, school life, artificial intelligence and traditional knowledge. Characters such as Kuaray, Deovillis, Michele, Lukis, Sofia, Apolo, Isadora and the young people from Guardian of Silence experience conflicts, discoveries and learning processes that reveal the creative strength of Indigenous youth. The book invites readers to listen, reflect and recognize culture as a path of resistance, care, transformation and future.
