The present research project, the result of a CAPES social demand grant, deals with the relevance of the education of black ethnic-racial relations in the school curricula of Early Childhood Education in Arraias-TO, a place where many blacks and indigenous people were enslaved and subjected to forced labor in the extraction of gold and sugar cane. The study aims to understand how the education of black ethnic-racial relations is being approached in the school curricula of Early Childhood Education in Arraias-TO. As a thesis, based on our experiences, it can be preliminarily deduced that the education of black ethnic-racial relations in the school curricula of Early Childhood Education in Arraias-TO are seen in a superficial and irrelevant way for children from zero to five years of age, because we consider that they are still small and "innocent" and, therefore, would not understand the theme. The research is supported by different authors such as: Gomes (2001, 2005, 2008, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2019); Munanga (2005, 2010); Sacristán (2000, 2013); Santomé (2011); Kuhlmann Jr. (2000); Valentine; Viana (2012) and others. The methodological procedures used are through qualitative research of proximity with the method of historical and dialectical materialism idealized by Karl Marx (1818-1883) in three Early Childhood Education schools in the city having as interlocutors teachers, director and coordinator of each institution. Thus, in order to answer the research questions and fulfill the main objective and the paths to be followed, the following research techniques and instruments were adopted: document analysis; observations with registration in the "field diary" and semi-structured interviews were conducted.
