Contribuições da astronomia indígena para a sociedade contemporânea: um estudo baseado em fontes bibliográficas

(Universidade Federal do Vale do São Francisco, 2025-07-15) Santos, Thalyta da Silva; Barbosa, Jaderson de Araujo Barros

This study investigated the contributions of indigenous astronomy to contemporary society, highlighting how ancestral knowledge about the sky and natural cycles influences culture, spirituality, and even modern science. Through a literature review and studies on different indigenous peoples of Brazil, it was possible to understand that these groups developed their own systems for observing the sky, using constellations and natural phenomena to predict events such as rain and floods, in addition to guiding activities such as hunting, fishing, and planting. The results show that indigenous astronomy is a rich and integrated knowledge that dialogues with modern science and reinforces the importance of careful observation of nature. It is concluded that this knowledge is not just part of the past, but a living source that contributes to valuing cultural diversity and offering new perspectives for science and sustainability in today's society.
