Empowering Aboriginal Voice in Aboriginal Education.
Antone, Eileen M.
Canadian Journal of Native Education, v24 n2 p92-101 2000
Euro-Western schooling imposed on Canada Natives was meant to destroy their culture and caused great alienation. This qualitative study of Onyota'a:ka (Oneida) Indians indicates that bilingual, bicultural education is needed to restore a strong Native identity. Education must validate traditional knowledge, values, and skills for Onyota'a:ka people to survive as a unique nation. (TD)
