Indigenous Ways to Go to School: Exploring Many Visions.

Stairs, Arlene

Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, v15 n1 p63-76 1994

Canadian Inuit and Mohawk indigenous schools illustrate the meeting of formal and traditional education models and suggest the dangers in oversimplified "learning style" dichotomies. The western cultural package of standard literacy practice, schooling, and abstract thought is challenged. (Contains 46 references.) (Author/LB)
