This work proposes to study the power relations established around the production and representation of indigenous knowledge by hegemonic instances that determine the universal standards for attributing value to the knowledge considered scientific and academic. To this end, it defines scientific production in Information Science as a research field, investigating it with the following general objective: to analyze the representation of indigenous knowledge in the scientific production of Brazilian Information Science from 2005 to 2020. It is based on a historical-conceptual review of the knowledge mobilized and preserved by indigenous communities, comparing them to the logic of the academic episteme in order to highlight the existence of paradigms and dominant models that normalize the coloniality of traditional knowledge, including in the context of Brazilian Information Science. Methodologically, this is documentary research, with qualitative-quantitative matrix centered on a bibliometric approach employed to investigate the existence and treatment of the theme “indigenous traditional knowledge” in the scientific production of Brazilian Information Science. For data collection, a bibliographic survey was carried out with a time frame from 2005 to 2020 in the Reference Database of Journal Articles in Information Science (BRAPCI), in the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BTDB), and in the annals of the National Meeting of Research and Postgraduate Studies in Information Science (ENANCIB) and the Brazilian Society for Knowledge Organization (ISKO-Brazil). As a result, it was possible to observe the existence of operational gaps that guide informational actions on this category of knowledge, many of them resulting from the limitations of the global instruments of representation of indigenous knowledge in Information Science. Finally, it is suggested that changing this scenario implies rethinking the different epistemological, historical, political, economic, technological, social and cultural aspects that guide the dynamics of knowledge, and information, production in the country.
