The aim of this work is to identify the place of the Tupi teaching in the Tupinikim indigenous community of Caieiras Velha village in Aracruz-ES. To identify this place, it was necessary to identify the current legislation about indigenous education that supports the experience that occurs on indigenous territory of Aracruz; evaluate historically the language policies oriented for indigenous languages in Brazil, especially the Tupi peoples; discuss different conceptions of language teaching based on the perspective of the production of meaning and finally, conduct semi-structured interviews and participant observation with the villagers, especially students and teachers. This research is justified by the fact that even the Tupinikim people have been targeted, during colonization by the Portuguese Crown and after independence by Brazilian State, of several different linguistic policies that have resulted in the silencing of his language and in the erasing of their culture, currently these people are organized, with recognized territory and building a revitalization project of Tupi language among community members. However, our hypothesis is that, although there are laws and guidelines that ensure indigenous peoples the right to make indigenous education in their own language, there are subjective difficulties and objective difficulties in the implementation of this project. The questions we ask are: what it means today, to the Tupinikim people, teach the Tupi in the villages and seek return your identity through the revitalization of their language? What language conception underlies this teaching and which the Tupi implementation of policies in the village? How the Tupi language establishes identity relations to these people? The analysis led us to observe that there is a long way to go Tupinikim people get fully revitalize the knowledge of the Tupi language and the Tupi education in indigenous can not alone ensure the success of this project. According to Paz (1986, p. 30) "(...) the word is man himself. (...) They are our only reality (...). "In this sense, the resumption of Tupi in the Tupinikim villages must mean the fortification of the identity of indigenous itself, which seems it is still far from happening, as shown in this research.
