Educators around the world are increasingly considering and seeking ways to challenge their role in the colonial project. Some have turned to embodied pedagogies as a way to encourage holistic, relationships-based learning in academies which traditionally prioritise cognitive, objective knowing. This review analyses 27 studies, published between…

Urban Indigenous communities in Canada are sites of dynamic knowledge transfer among Indigenous people who build community together both from within similar cultural frameworks and across difference. These "inter-national" urban Indigenous communities face distinct challenges and opportunities for implementing Indigenous knowledge…

Anti-Indigenous racism is the result of a lack of knowledge about Indigenous peoples according to Senator Murray Sinclair (Sinclair, 2019). Teacher education is one of the most powerful ways to combat racism towards Indigenous peoples as it impacts not only pre-service teachers but in-service teachers, their students, and their families. Alberta's…

Improving post-secondary outcomes and retention of Indigenous students may require interventions such as culturally appropriate mentorship. "Mainstream" mentorship perspectives and practices developed within places of Western education and employment may be limited in their ability to address the unique cultural considerations and…

This article demonstrates how the Haudenosaunee concept of goodness is central to the foundational ontology of five Haudenosaunee higher education personnel who were identified by former students as instrumental to their postsecondary student success.

Inquiring into Trudy, Shaun, and Janice's experiences alongside Anishinabe Elder Dr. Mary Isabelle Young's living "pimatisiwin" (walking in a good way) and "pimosayta" (learning to walk together) with us, we show how her living in these relationally ethical ways grounded our creating and offering an "Assessment as…

Recent investigations in South American anthropology have focused on children in a range of contexts.

The "Wandiny" creative gathering of Indigenous and non-Indigenous poets, artists, Elders, and participants across Australia actively sought to foreground First Nations voices, stories, poetry, art, and ontology. This paper presents the auto-ethnographic reflections from the event organisers, demonstrating that participation in a…

Gagné's Differentiated Model of Giftedness and Talent [DMGT] has enjoyed widespread uptake in Australia. Little work has been done, though, to determine if this popular model can account for culturally diverse views of its fundamental concepts. This article reports a study that compared the talent development infrastructure of Gagné's DMGT (with a…

Restoration of the lost through the study of folklore (tales, fairy tales, epics, proverbs, sayings, etc.) can…

Development, smartness, and equity are often defined through cosmopolitan perspectives. Schools and communities from rural regions in Portugal must develop additional measures to compensate for structural disadvantages. These measures often serve to achieve urban models and standards with which comparisons are made. This article explores rural…

In this paper, we explore the ways that a STEAM-focused summer program for Indigenous youth supported learning in accordance with Indigenous axiologies (what we value esthetically or morally), ontologies (what we believe to be real and how we enact those beliefs), and epistemologies (what we know and how we know it) or AOE. Part of these AOEs…
