Enabling the Autumn Seed: Toward a Decolonized Approach to Aboriginal Knowledge, Language, and Education.
Battiste, Marie
Canadian Journal of Native Education, v22 n1 p16-27 1998
The Canadian federal government mandates that First Nations bands adopt provincial curricula as a requirement for assuming control of their education. This mandate perpetuates Eurocentric cognitive imperialism in Aboriginal schools and the marginalization of indigenous languages and culture. Indigenous languages, culture, and knowledge are inextricably interwoven and must be at the center of a decolonized education. Contains 25 references. (SV)
