ARTIEDA, Teresa Laura; LIVA, Yamila; ALMIRON, Victoria Soledad  and  NAZAR, Anabel. Education for indigenous childhood at the Indigenous Reservation Napalpí: Chaco, Argentina. 1911-1936. Anthropologica [online]. 2015, vol.33, n.35, pp.117-139. ISSN 0254-9212.

On this article we approach the education for indigenous childhood at the Indigenous Reservation Napalpí (Chaco, Argentina) between 1911 and 1936, where the first plan of the national State for the confinement and discipline of the subjected natives, members of the Qom, Moqoit, Shinpi’ peoples, was implemented in a highly conflicting scenario of military campaigns of the national State for controlling the territorial and political indigenous domains of the territory, the expansion of capitalism and the progressive proletarian condition of those populations in the regional farms. We analyze the schooling project for the indigenous childhood in the Reservation, we present some notes on its development during the first three decades of the twentieth century and the conceptions on childhood and the educating forms attributed to the indigenous populations. This work is registered on the social history of education, it deepens previous inquiries of our authorship and it integrates anthropological and regional history researches. Our corpus of data is based in state’s legislations, civil servants reports and national organizations memoirs.

Keywords : Argentinian Chaco; Capitalism and indigenous groups; History of Education; Schooling; Qom and Moqoit childhood.
