This paper aims to problematize the experiences of indigenous people in the university context, taking the notion of coloniality as an articulator of the analysis. Therefore, it analyzes two scenes that occurred in a Brazilian university. From the idea offield-theme, the production of the information occurred in the university 's daily life on different occasions and in different activities together with indigenous students, ending with a round of conversation around the experience in the university. The results show that, on one hand, these students have experienced a colonized and colonizing formation, making their experiences, knowledge and ways of life invisible. On other hand, they (re)exist producing fissures of decolonization, aiming at intercultural dialogues, which produce new paths and alternatives to everyday coloniality.
