Resumen
“Mapping time, space and the body: Indigenous knowledge and mathematical thinking in Brazil” (Ferreira, 2015) brings people, land, and numbers together in the fight for justice. In this extraordinary voyage through ancestral territories in Brazil, the Xavante, Suyá, Kayabi, and other nations use mapping as a tool to protect their human rights. Mathematics activities inside the classroom and in everyday life help explain how Indigenous Peoples understand the cosmos and protect its living beings. Ethnomathematics makes another contribution to a growing literature on the mathematical and scientific thinking of Indigenous Peoples around the globe. It makes mathematics alive and culturally relevant for students of all national backgrounds worldwide.
