The proposal of this doctoral thesis, written through the textual genre of theoretical essay, consists of presenting the dual purpose of the research, without the aim of classifying lesser or greater importance, but which complement and interact within the specificities that inspire me to foster discussions on the listed approaches. The first aims to highlight the epistemology of Good Living and the pedagogies of indigenous peoples, as an announcement of complex and ancestral knowledge and educational processes and practices which indigenous peoples socialize, beliefs, traditions, languages, sense of belonging and worldviews . The second is the proposal of epistemological/pedagogical insertion as conceptual contributions/supports, for example, of cosmology and indigenous thought, through indigenous literatures, with the purpose of substantiating the decolonial formation/action of environmental educators. Our theoretical arguments are guided by the conceptions of: Edgar Morin, Daniel Munduruku, Sidarta T. G. Ribeiro, Gersem Baniwa Aníbal Quijano; Boaventura S. Santos; Catherine Walsh, Miguel Arroyo, Paulo Freire; Mauro Guimarães, Davi Kopenawa, and Ailton Krenak.
