Indigenous Peoples continue to face substantial challenges. This article focuses on the Kaingang People in Southern Brazil and is contextualized by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) adopted by all the United Nations member states in 2015. The authors adopted an Indigenist research methodology to obtain oral evidence and provided an education-focused case-study. The research findings reveal that, despite Brazilian Constitutional recognition and SDG provisions, in practice, the Indigenous People in Brazil are experiencing renewed threats to their indigeneity. The SDGs need to be implemented more robustly at the local level to overcome these emancipatory barriers. The article reveals the key role of empowerment that can be played by carefully articulated indigenous education programs.

土著人民继续面临重大挑战。本文着重介绍巴西南部的Kaingang人民，并结合所有联合国会员国在2015年通过的可持续发展目标（SDG）进行了研究。作者采用了土著主义者的研究方法来获得口头证据，并提供了以教育为重点的案例-学习。研究结果表明，尽管巴西宪法承认并制定了SDG，但实际上，巴西的土著人民正面临着对其原住民的新威胁。需要在地方一级更强有力地实施可持续发展目标，以克服这些解放的障碍。这篇文章揭示了授权的关键作用，可以通过精心阐述的土著教育计划来发挥作用。
