About
The mission of this site is to raise awareness of First Nations pedagogy around the globe. The ways of knowing, learning, and teaching inherent to the traditional methods of informal and formal aboriginal education are profound and important in this 21st Century. Not only for First Nations peoples, but for all of the Earth’s citizens. I truly believe that the “way” to heal our planet and save our race lies in the tenets of First Nations traditional ways of being and knowing. It is important that all First Nations peoples have access to education and health planning that is shaped by their own ancestral ways. This should occur both in First Nations governed schools and health systems, but also within the mainstream educational and health systems. This is their right. both humanistically and legally. A precedence has been set by various national governments to respect the First Nations way of living, socialization, and education. Teachers, educational planners, health care professionals and others working with First Nations education and health all need to become cognizant and develop expertise in how to properly plan initatives for First Nations people. This site is one small effort to help to support this.
