Ways of Learning: Indigenous Approaches to Knowledge: Valid Methodologies in Education.
Semchison, Michael Red Shirt
Australian Journal of Indigenous Education, v29 n2 p8-10 2001
A 56-year-old Canada Native took a college course on Australian Indigenous approaches to knowledge. He observed that initially many students were hindered by their past experience with linear paradigms of structured academic processes. Eventually they let their minds access spirit and feeling in addition to thought, allowing a recall of life experiences and the knowledge gained from them. (TD)
