A three-phase research project included a literature review on Canadian Aborigine literacy, interviews and focus groups, and a symposium and follow-up workshops. Findings were as follows: (1) Aboriginal literacy has a distinct, culturally appropriate holistic perspective; (2) no single educational practice is best; (3) funding tied to criterion-based outcomes is not culturally appropriate; and (4) Aboriginal literacy reflects distinct world views.
