Abstract

This study explores the critical analysis and instructional implementation of the oral tradition of Luéji and the first Mwata Yamvo, from the Lunda region in Central Africa. The research aims to demonstrate the educational potential of this source to break with the teaching of history based on a Eurocentric historiographical framework through the study of the cosmoperceptions of the Lunda. To achieve this goal, the methodology used was a combination of: description of the source, critical analysis based on theoretical references, and the development of a teaching sequence for the 7th grade of elementary school. The font description process was refined with the help of Artificial Intelligence tools (DeepSeek). The main results obtained were the description and analysis of a colonial archive source from the perspective of Lunda cosmoperception, transforming the record into a powerful tool for deconstructing the “single story”. In conclusion, the source is presented as a resource for teaching history, effectively contributing to compliance with Law 10.639/03 and the appreciation of Lunda knowledge in basic education.
