Abstract:
The Sacred Circle, or medicine wheel, provides a powerful Aboriginal symbol for
reconceptualizing First Nations education in Canada. Since 1972, when the Indian
Control of Indian Education policy was formerly adopted by First Nations peoples
and accepted by the government of Canada, the circle has unfolded. In this
volume, Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal authors examine various aspects of the
schooling of children and adults. The circle is unfolding, and First Nations
Education in Canada provides not only an examination of the state of the art
but also a guide for helping both, Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal, meet the
challenge. |
