The Role of Elders in Child and Youth Care Education.
Cooke-Dallin, Bruce; Rosborough, Trish; Underwood, Louise
Canadian Journal of Native Education, v24 n2 p82-91 2000
Some postsecondary programs in child and youth care for First Nations students in British Columbia are offered locally and employ elders as teachers because they understand their cultures and communities. The strengths found in the traditions of respect and intergenerational transmission of knowledge through elders are empowering to Native students and relevant to the field of child and youth care.
