The proposal is based on research work with the Pataxó women from the Kaí-Pequi Indigenous Territory, located in the extreme south of Bahia, particularly, in the village of Cumuruxatiba, in the municipality of Prado, Bahia. The paper seeks to show off the dialogues woven with Pataxó teachers from the Kijetxawê Zabelê Indigenous State School, aiming to reflect their empowerment, sustainability and self - management practices of the Pataxó. Is proposed to reflect beyond the school, with the intention to perceive how the Pataxó teachers act in the different spaces in which they are inserted. The experiences are supported by ethnographies research with the accompaniment of several meetings and assemblies in the communities, gender workshops with Pataxó women, counsulting and regularization of associations and specific projects with women, as well as the mãgute workshop (traditional Pataxó cuisine), ethnomedicine Pataxó workshop, cutting and sewing workshop, pedagogical journeys, workshops of cipó, among other spaces of sociability carried out by Pataxó women.
