Several analyses focus on racism in Brazilian society, but only a few have delved into how it specifically affects Indigenous Peoples. This work aims to address this gap by analysing the racist episodes in the educational environment reported in Violence against Indigenous People in Brazil, a series of analytical reports published annually by CIMI (Missionary Indigenist Council). After reading and systematizing all reported events, it was possible to identify how widespread this phenomenon is, as cases in the educational environment were documented every investigated year, across all educational levels and various types of facilities. These data reveal that racism against Indigenous Peoples can manifest in different patterns, and be perpetrated by both public servants and private agents. However, irrespective of the diverse contexts, racism remains a constant form of violence against Indigenous Peoples in Brazil.
