- Protest as pedagogy: Exploring teaching and learning in Indigenous environmental movementsThis article reports on a recent study into the experiences of Indigenous and allied environmental activists with teaching and learning during and as a result of Indigenous environmental movements. This inquiry is grounded in a theoretical framework informed by decolonization and cultural revitalization, social movement learning, and repressive tolerance. Interviews with 10 participants across Canada produced rich insights related to significant life experiences, the tensions encountered by activist educators, the complexity of inter-activist relationships, interaction with police agencies, the plurality of protest, and the revitalization and sharing of Indigenous traditions as the ultimate form of resistance.
- The Role of Making the Stuff of Life in Place-Based EducationThis article examines the role material culture and making items can serve in establishing a sense of place or informing place-based educational practices. It is arranged around six principles that, if used in a learning context, connect material from a place to an enhanced comprehension of a sense of place. A critical component in making the stuff of life includes shaping and making practical items like tools, food, shelter and clothing. Contemporary place-based educational practices frequently emphasize connecting children with their food through gardening activities, but this article emphasizes that making practical items from local material is also a valuable way to begin learning about the place where one lives. The author describes some guiding principles that can be used to enrich the context of place during making experiences focused upon the stuff of life.
- “Role models can’t just be on posters”: Re/membering Barriers to Indigenous Community EngagementCurrent Canadian scholarly literature, education policy, and curricular documents
encourage the participation of Indigenous community members as a key
component of Indigenous Education reform. Guided by sharing circles conducted
with Indigenous Elders, families, teachers, and support workers, we present
community voices and experiences of Indigenous Education in an urban school
board through poetic transcription. Our research suggests that four key barriers
will have to be overcome in efforts to improve urban Indigenous Education:
unwelcoming schools, professionalization of classroom teaching, colonized
classrooms, and unilateral decolonization. Poetic transcription is used in this
article to centre the voices of Indigenous participants as well as attempt to
decolonize our approach to data dissemination of Indigenous voices as white,
Euro-Canadian university-based researchers. - Self-fulfilling Prophecy: How Teachers’ Attributions, Expectations, and Stereotypes Influence the Learning Opportunities Afforded Aboriginal StudentsEducational decisions made about students often have consequences for their subsequent employment and financial well-being, therefore it is imperative to determine whether teacher decisions are discriminatory. This study examines how factors such as race, class, and gender influence the decisions teachers make regarding Aboriginal students. The study demonstrates that teachers do attribute certain factors to Aboriginal students, which may influence students' classroom placement. Findings may help both sensitize teachers to the implications of their beliefs and biases as well as promote the development of policies and practices to eliminate biased decision-making.
- Culturally Responsive Teaching in Yukon First Nation Settings: What Does It Look Like and What Is Its Influence?This study presents a pedagogical framework to inform culturally responsive
teaching in a Yukon First Nations community. The paper describes the
community-based processes used to develop the framework, and presents
accounts from teachers who have used the framework to inform their
teaching. Preliminary indications of the adjusted teaching practices’ influence
on student learning are presented, using qualitative data describing the
changed teaching practices, and quantitative data specific to the changed
practices’ impact on student learning. Finally, the paper outlines the ongoing
community-based research work in the Yukon context, with reference to the
work’s potential significance to the wider education community.

- Indigenous Peoples Atlas of CanadaThis resource will assist you and your students in understanding the past, present and future of Indigenous Peoples in Canada. There is a wealth of
information and a diversity of stories and voices on this map; however, we recognize that no resource will ever be able to encompass all Indigenous voices and stories. The Royal Canadian Geographical Society (RCGS) also recognizes that the stories told here are not ours to tell. It is for this reason that we have worked collaboratively with a number of
Indigenous and ally educators and organizations from across Canada to create this resource.
We highly recommend that you use this resource as a starting point and reach out to Indigenous communities, organizations and groups in your
area to learn more and continue to work toward reconciliation.
