    Mary Hermes In Hawaii Culture

    According to Mary Hermes and Keiki Kawai’ae’a (2012), “Speaking through an indigenous language is one of the deepest forms of identity reclamation and validation for people of indigenous heritage” (p. 307). Mary Hermes is helping to revitalize the Ojibwe language in the Great Lakes region. Hermes changed her major to curriculum studies and where she worked in a tribal school for five years, finishing her dissertation on culture-based schooling in 1995.

    'Closing the Gap' for Indigenous Australians

    Developing personal skills enables individuals to access information and become empowered to claim their rights. Education of this sort can happen informally and formally. Many Indigenous Australians are disengaged at school, as evident by the overall low rates of attendance of the major schools, as well as markedly lower levels of academic achievement. Indigenous students are also less informed about higher education opportunities than non- Indigenous students, which in turn have detrimental effects on their occupational opportunities later in life. In order to improve the responsibility of Indigenous student’s participation in learning, the Literacy and Numeracy NP Agreement aims to improve literacy and numeracy outcomes of students in schools with low levels of achievement. This partnership demonstrated particularly strong improvements. For example, the proportion of Indigenous students at or above the national minimum standard improved by 11.4% for year 3 reading in Queensland, around 17% for year 7 Reading in Western Australia and approximately 16% for year 3 in the Northern Territory. These statistics portray the vital role education plays in developing personal skills, in order to enable individuals with equitable opportunities to other non-indigenous students across the country.…

    Aboriginal Adult Education: Finding the Equinox

    Aboriginal adult education participation is significantly lower than those of non-Aboriginal people in Canada. Literacy, high school completion, training, and post secondary education engagement in the Aboriginal adult community is increasing but statistics indicate that Aboriginal people are completing high school and post secondary education at rates as low as one third of that of non-Aboriginal people. The barriers Aboriginal people are faced with when returning to school have been studied by a number of researchers over the past two decades. By exploring the research over the past twenty years about Aboriginal adult education non-completion and examining the divide between societal or systems barriers and individual or personal barriers, recommended strategies to overcome barriers and the best practices to create equity in access to education and completion can be identified and implemented. Like the equinox, the differences between Aboriginal adult success in education and training and non-Aboriginal success in education and training is like night and day. The balance between these differences can benefit Aboriginal adult learners by seeing the barriers as opportunities to support Aboriginal individual families and communities to share responsibility to create a future in education where Aboriginal education is respected and individuals are successful.…

    The Stolen Generation: Misconception Of Residential Schools

    The school system still impacts future generation of aboriginals in Canada as they struggle to protect their language and ultimately preserve their culture. Although, many people are trying to make the “call for official recognition of First Nations languages,” (CBC news) a lot of these languages are endangered. One of the factors as to why aboriginal languages should be passed is the decline of fluent speakers throughout Canada due to the fact that “ first nations traditionally preserved and transmitted their culture and history through the oral tradition, no First Nations language in Canada had a writing system prior to European contact.” (Huang). But in British Columbia, many “linguists are trying to record as many mother-tongue speakers of Aboriginal languages as they can” and first nations languages program in UBC provide the opportunity for the new generation to learn the language. The efforts made by the aboriginals peoples and the government’s efforts for reconciliation of assimilation lead to the Royal Commision to acknowledge that aboriginal languages as an “expression of their identity, empowerment” (Huang) and the embodiment of their culture that should be revitalized for future…

    Cognitive Imperialism In Canada

    However, this struggle has made it evident that there is no familiar political, social, and educational construct that is adequate to describe or evaluate their vision of cultural restoration. Aboriginal scholars and educators are beginning to think about ways in which Canadian education can be decolonized and transformed. Through this initiative, I believe that as future teachers we can help by doing our part in creating equality of Aboriginal languages and knowledge through our practice, thus making it a trademark of the next century.…

    What Is The Importance Of Aboriginal And Torres Strait Islander Histories

    The different sociocultural and community environments for children in the classroom are placed at home can adjust this pattern. Normally, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children respond better to indirect communication and guidelines and having discussion with their teachers and peers. Not only that, Australian Direction in Indigenous Education document also supports this concept, where it is explained that Indigenous students may feel disgrace at being targeted or straightforwardly tended to when in a gathering together with their friends (DECS 2005, p.9). Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children are ordinarily taught from an early age in their home surroundings about the deep relationship of respect with their land. Linking classroom content to the land and their local community encourages deeper understanding of the concept than information that is deemed irrelevant to their environment and their community (8 Ways of Aboriginal…
