CHAGAS-FERREIRA, Jane Farias. DEVELOPMENT OF INDIGENOUS TALENT: EXPLORATORY STUDY ON THE YUHUP. Psicol. rev. (Belo Horizonte) [online]. 2021, vol.27, n.2, pp.513-532.  Epub 20-Jan-2025. ISSN 1677-1168.  https://doi.org/10.5752/p.1678-9563.2021v27n2p513-532.

This exploratory study aimed to investigate factors that promote or inhibit talent development among the Yuhup. The data were constructed through interviews with non-Indigenous person and analyzed using qualitative procedures. There are no words to define talent in the Maku language, but the Yuhup people recognize artisans as talented people. The expression of talent is mediated by gender: men build ritual and fishing and hunting artifacts, while women dedicate themselves to basketry, clothing, and ornaments. Techniques and knowledge are transmitted transgenerationally through repetition and observation and as part of the family’s routine. The following stood out as challenges for talent development: the early identification of children and the training of teachers to work in indigenous school education. The need for future research is pointed out to outline indicators for the provision of educational services that promote the development of the potential of children and young talents in the Yuhup community.
