The methodology used is qualitative anddescriptive. The sample is formed by male and female students from urban high schools with a high amountof indigenous students in Chile. The techniques used were focus groups and semi-structured interviews anddata analysis was carried out using the theoretical and methodological aspects of the grounded theory. TheATLAS-ti software was used to generate networks, concepts and categories. In the results, this studyconfirmed the existence of different types of violence, verbal, physical and psychological, towards indigenousstudents at traditional urban schools being the most typical ones verbal and psychological. The results showthat verbal violence is represented mainly in expressions aimed at ridiculing, making stereotyped offenses anddepreciation of indigenous students.
